------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CBM+1..4 change terminal
CBM+S open a new shell

CBM+C interrupt running program
CBM+D detach running program

CBM+H the "pipe" key

at the shell prompt you can enter commands, or a "pipe" of several (up to 4)
commands, very similar to what you know from other shells. currently the
following special characters are recognized:

| (pipe,CBM+H) between two commands will connect the stdin of the right command
to the stdout of the left command.

< [infile] after a command will read infile to its stdin
> [outfile] after a command will write its stdout to outfile

& after a command will detach the process from the shell (so it
can run in the background)

cbm+s to load a shell, cbm+1..4 for terminals, cbm+c, cbm+z ... look at dir for a bunch of *nix commands which more or less work as expected.

dont expect much, it really cant do anything useful, and crashes at times =)
