There is, but it's considered for internal and development use only. In my opinion, the extensions system is the only supported way of modifying the Shell. Of course, distros are free to patch the code directly. May I ask what kinds of chnages you want to make to the Shell to give you the best solution? If there are specific thing you'd like the extensions system to do, I'd gladly help you along with that. Best regards, and keep with the great work, > -- > > Sw.E. D.H.
