About 4 months ago, someone posted his Shell 2.07 variant. it included
wildcard expansion, using the TAB key, and it also included the  `command`
trick you want.

Wait ... I am looking at the shell docs right now ...
Well - here it is:
The Shell was Matt's shell with changes by Johan Widen ( jw@sics.se ),
who is probably reading this now.
The shell was 10KB larger than the original 2.07 release, probably
because it was converted back to Lattice. Johan didn't post the full
source code, but he included the diffs from the original shell.
He also included a small program called 'sets' that makes the best use
of the `` trick.
