This rocks, thanks for all your effort

I have using a combination phpsh, which is proprietary, and file
manager, which is a security risk, for about 1/2 decade.  I very much
wanted to work on phpsh, but, as I couldn't distribute it, I deferred.
 Also, I have not been a paid technologist since the tech crash of the
early 2000s, and my focus has been sociology, education, and
psychology -- and long haul trucking ($!)

Since 2000, I have been considering the possibility of a new shell.
As great as SH and KSH are, they were, in a sense, proof of concept
projects, and some of the syntax is awkward.  Also, though it seems
contradictory, I think the shell should be object-oriented so that it
can represent the motion of objects, such as we are used to on the
desktop.

When I go started on psych in earnest, and I got to the nitty-gritty
of brain functions, I saw no other avenue except
functional-orientation, where the premise is that a static organism is
dead--we are all in constant motion, all our facilities are
functioning, and not objects waiting to be evoked, such as in
object-orientation.  (In this model, the language comes last; first is
to sell the tool as a aid to conceptualization, which, believe me, is
an extreme need in psychology!)

Regards, John
