Hi, I'm using IPython raw. I guess I'm not sure what a shell is in this
case. I used to work with Linux years ago and the shell concept was
clear there. I'm now simply a Win XP user. What advantages would be
available to use a shell?

In part of the thread above,(posted 57 minutes after the hour, I asked
how copy and paste operate? Quick IPyton seems to think it works quite
like a Win copy and paste. It doesn't work for me.

Below you've manage to post a session. How did that happen? Is there a
file that I can pick up that contains the log? From the ref manual, I
see this:
===============


      Manual capture of command output¶
 
<http://ipython.scipy.org/doc/manual/html/interactive/reference.html#manual-capture-of-command-output>

If the input line begins with two exclamation marks, !!, the command is
executed but its output is captured and returned as a python list, split
on newlines. Any output sent by the subprocess to standard error is
printed separately, so that the resulting list only captures standard
output. The !! syntax is a shorthand for the %sx magic command.

Finally, the %sc magic (short for ‘shell capture’) is similar to %sx,
but allowing more fine-grained control of the capture details, and ...
===============end

Maybe this is somehow you did it?
