NAME            msh  --  mini-shell



SYNOPSIS        --



DESCRIPTION     msh is a heavily simplified version of the Shell.

                It reads one line from the standard input file,

                interprets it as a command, and calls the com-

                mand.



                The mini-shell supports few of the advanced fea-

                tures of the Shell; none of the following charac-

                ters is special:



                   > < $ \ ; &



                However, "*" and "?" are recognized and glob is

                called.  The main use of msh is to provide a

                command-executing facility for various interac-

                tive sub-systems.
