To follow up on this, I have now updated both OSProcess and CommandShell 
to work on Pharo 1.2. I have not yet had a chance to look at the
Metacello configurations, but loading the latest versions of OSProcess
and  CommandShell, and CommandShellPharo from SqueakSource will give
the correct configurations. For CommandShell, ignore the MVC warnings
on load, or you can load the individual sub-packages from SqueakSource
and leave out CommandShell-MVC.

The separate CommandShellPharo package in SqS/CommandShell provides
world menu registration for opening a command shell morph on Pharo
(open a new command shell morph with world -> Tools -> Command shell).
This is in its own package because of the use of pragmas for menu
registration, which cannot be loaded into some other Squeak images
(e.g. Squeak 3.8 and earlier).

I note that on Pharo:
  TextStyle named: 'DefaultFixedTextStyle' ==> a TextStyle Accuny12(FontSet)
Which seems to be a proportional font rather than fixed, so the font
in a CommandShell window is not as nice as it should be.

OSProcess and CommandShell test suites are green on Squeak/Unix VM,
but a bit flakey when I run them on Pharo. Issues are timing related,
and I cannot say if they are issues in Pharo, CommandShell, or maybe
just the way I wrote the tests. But for general use, everything seems
to be working now.

When running on Cog, you should expect #forkSqueak to fail, but it
will no longer crash the VM as in earlier OSProcess versions. However,
#forkSqueak is used extensively in the unit tests for various
multiprocessing test setups, which means that the test suites will
not run properly. That said, most of the rest of OSProcess and
CommandShell should work on Cog.

Most things should work on a Mac VM, although I cannot personally
verify. Windows support is incomplete and the plugin is not widely
available.
