	For Sure, it's cute, but not completely practical.  Customization 
Aside, my major complaint about such a system is simply that it's too
cluttered.   Three windows?  One of the several terminal programs I wrote
had two windows ... a 'terminal' window and a 'command' window, and I can
tell you that I got rather tired of the 'command' window.  

	keywords also slows me down... I don't want to be forced to type
long drawn out english keywords for commands.  Shell's were never meant
to be user friendly.

	So I think maybe it would make a good idiot-box.  As far as I'm
concerned it goes into my "It works in Theory, but not in practice" folder.

Oh, P.S. I am definately *NOT* saying that my Shell is real, it isn't.
I have yet to see any shell that efficiently integrates keyboard, mouse, and
graphics screen with the power of shell scripts, aliases, and file/command
completion.
