Programs would have to be specifically written for the shell, so it would be 
useless unless everybody started supporting it (which just isn't going to 
happen).  The 86 is the only calc where all asm programs can run without a 
shell, and it would be great if we kept it that way.  There isn't that much 
advantage to multi-tasking anyway, since the screen size is so small and the 
processor is so slow.
