That was just my reaction to the stack -- great if you know what  
you're doing already, but you have to know shell commands. (I dropped  
it into my Plugins folder anyway....)

Is there a shell command to get all the shell commands on the  
currently running system? If so, it should be a snap to expand the  
stack accordingly.
