RE: LZ: ZShell, OS-85, C-Shell NT, OShell and all the rest
A feature I'd like is an interrupt handler. It would make it easy for people
to right TSRs and for people to have several on their calc. But more
importantly, I'd like to see a feature where a user can press ON _anytime_,
out of CShell, in TI-OS, while running a BASIC program, while running an ASM
program, etc. the calc would shut off, and ask for a password when it came on.
Will this be implemented?

The next version of CShell to come out (after the version Keith
optimized) will have built in security. That will, in fact, be the main
_new_ feature... Options we know _FOR SURE_ will be (all optional!):
Requiring login
Requiring logout (keeps people from messing up your calc!)
Lock all programs (if you want to require login to play any programs...)
Lock with PowerDown (so if you turn your calc off people can't get in...)
Possible for next version (though likely in later versions for sure!):
Ability to selectively lock programs (so if you only want people to be
unable to access certain programs, to maybe allow them to play games...)
We might add more on, but I can't really tell for certain...
Oh!! We _WILL_ keep a small version of CShell out even after the one with
all the security features gets released... The version we keep will
probably be the one Keith and I release very shortly!
