I haven't been following this much but If you did decide to mess with shell it would be really handy having a shell command that was safe to use on Windows. At the moment it's possible for some system admin to put a policy against running the command prompt and that causes shell to never return. I have a safeShell function that opens process and reads. But it would be nice if shell just worked that way on Windows or there was another function that did it...
Cheers
