Your idea about the system() call sounds quite interesting! I'd be
interested in seeing/using it when you are done.

Comment: If the shell were to be changed to inherit the environment,
please use Manx "set" style environment vars. (sounds like a type of
yoghourt, eh?) I think this is what they are going to be using in 1.3 and
1.4 and this would be an easy way of exporting the environment while
remaining upwardly compatible.
