determining if user has shell access

[Dar Scott]

I'm a little confused as to what is happening.  Is the app locking  
up?  Or does the function return empty?

If the latter, then maybe you can test shell with something trivial  
that always returns something that is not empty.  If you get empty,  
you can't use shell().
