Yeah, not having libraries is why the 86 doesn't suck and all the other
calcs do (from a game/programming standpoint, of course...the 89's symbolic
nature is quite handy).  What would be interesting to see in a shell is one
like the Doors Explorer feature to unzip and run programs, then zip them up
again.  If you had a shell that could compress everything on the calc, and
uncompress and run it, you could have complete compression for programs
without any problems.
