Is there any news about the power user's shell that MicroSoft is supposed
to be working on?

If you want a Dos Power Users' shell that leaves everything else
available in the dust, get the MKS toolkit and use the included Korn
shell.

MKS toolkit ==
	MKS Awk +
	MKS Sh + 
	MKS Vi + 
	200ish /bin programs.

I think it's totally awesome!  Finally got my PC out of the
grubby fingers of Microsoft..

I bought it for an educational price of $130 or so from
Programmer's Shop.
