How would I go about doing that?  I'm still new to ASM and don't know
everything that you seasoned programmers do.  I know that a shell is not
exactly the best way to start my ASM learning experience, but I figured
I might as well start somewhere.  I downloaded the MISh source and took
a quick look at it.  I'll go through it and see what I can learn.
Thanks.
