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!
