We'll need a new shell, or actually just a program that resides on top of
the normal shell and writes to a BATch file that command.com (or whatever)
is executing. It wouldn't be that complicated, but the time to load/unload
between small programs might be too much on older hardware to be worth it.
The general idea:
To use it you would add "bsh.bat" (one person on this list can correctly
guess on the full name - "Bernie SHell" isn't correct) containing a line
(must be refreshed upon startup) to start bsh.exe, then when you use an
external program (such as arachne) the program would add "call arachne.bat"
to the file bsh.bat and then "bsh.exe" and terminate, letting command.com
start arachne.bat and then run bsh.exe again to get you back to the shell.
