	I had a little luck using msh and mt-csh style paths, separated
	by comments rather than colons... I also used MemFile! to edit the
	executable to get rid of the 'D:' drive specifier. That helped.

	I was trying to get it to de-shar some files with no success. This
	is essentially all I want sh for, and it won't work for me, either.
	It seems to bomb on comment lines, too...

	My intention is to order the sources for it as soon as the stuff I
	ordered form Beckemeyer comes through, then work on it in my (hah!)
	spare time. I think I'd like a bourne shell just to de-shar things. 
	Other than that, it should be a fun way to figure out how to use
	SDS. Some of the utils are things I actually didn't get with MWC
	or MT C-shell, but most of them are already here.
