It is confusing. Why not just have one command instead of "launch", "shell" or "open process"?
I don't advocate anyone switching Ruv for Perl but one neat thing about Perl is that it's open() function works on a filename or a shell command. It accomplishes this by specifying a "mode" for the open, using the symbols <, >, >>, +<, +>, +>>, or |, around the name to be opened. The mode specifies read, write, append, create, or clobber for files and/or commands.
Transcript has picked up Perl regular expressions, so maybe it could pickup it's filehandle and process opening semantics as well? :-)
