What do you think for FreeDOS TUI Shell?

I had a long long look at the sources, as they almost read like spoken english and they are very easy to understand. They showed me a lot of "how to do XY....".

Apart from that I can't say something, because there is no point for me in using a dosshell. I am in a big-love-relationship with norton commander for so long now .... ;) I never got to use MS's dosshell. Back in the days I was kind of impressed, what comes with dos, but soon realised: it is not meant for me...

In my VM it feels a bit "stucky" (you can see the screen updating from time to time and you feel the delay between keypresses and reaction). Is this related to my VM or does this also happen on real hardware?

One thing about coding style (it does not affect you - just something that I noticed when reading code): You have put your main() at the end. I want to get an overview of what happens. I start scrolling down, but still reading from line 1. I want to see main, but can't miss the stuff from line 1 to main(), so I read and cant await to get to main(). Finally I am there - I want to know what a function does, I have read it a few minutes before, but was waiting for main, so nothing has been saved to my brain and I read code again... :D

Greetings,
Nils
