This depends on the shell.  Function shell() and Terminal need not be 
using the same shell.  Terminal uses bash, but you can change that in 
preferences.  I think the shell for shell() changed recently for OS X.  
You can set the shellCommand property to determine the shell that the 
shell() function uses.  On my Rev 2.2 on OS X the shellCommand is 
"/bin/sh".
