 # A2osX Shell Developers Guide

-One of the most significant parts of A2osX is its shell which can perform both interactive and scripted tasks.  With the interactive part of the shell you can perform many common and complex tasks using both built-in (native or internal to shell) and external (BIN or executable) commands.  Internal commands include CD (change directory), MD (make directory), PWD, DATE, etc.  External commands include CP (copy), RM (remove), CAT (display file contents), TELNET, etc.

Internal commands include CD (change directory), MD (make directory), PWD, DATE, etc.  External commands include CP (copy), RM (remove), CAT (display file contents), TELNET, etc.  It is even possible to create and execute short scripts right on the interactive command line (these are run once and not saved like true scripts) such as:
 
-It should be noted, that it is even possible to create and execute short scripts right on the interactive command line (these are run once and not saved like true scripts).  An example
-
-```
 	FOR FILE IN `LS -C CT*`; CAT ${FILE}; NEXT
-```
 
 In this example, the system will generate a list of files found in the current directory which match the CT* wild card and perform the CAT operation on each.  The semicolons act as line separators allowing you to type in multiple commands, or short scripts on a single line.
 
-This Developers Guide will cover the basic operation of the interactive shell, the internal shell commands and creating complex scripts that can be run by the shell.  For information on external commands consult the **[A2osX Command Guide](Command%20Guide.md)**.

 ## About the A2osX Shell (SH)
 
 The default A2osX Shell **./BIN/SH** is an external command program like many others included with A2osX.  It is probably the most complex and capable, as suggested by its size compared to other commands (7K vs 1K for TELNET).  It is the primary tool for interacting with the A2osX system.  The SH shell is based loosely on the Linux BASH shell, to the extent possible on an 8-bit machine.  Alternative shells are planned for the future and will be announced as they become available.
 
-As the primary mechanism for working with A2osX, the SH shell is launched automatically when you log into A2osX.  In the case where no ./ETC/PASSWD file is present, A2osX automatically logs you in as the ROOT user.  When a user login occurs and SH is launched, it looks for a file called PROFILE in the users HOME directory and if found executes that script, so the information below on writing scripts applies to PROFILE script files.

 ## Interacting with the Shell
 
-To interact with the A2osX shell, you type commands at the prompt, which ends with a **$** character.  The prompt usually includes your current working directory such as **/FULLBOOT/ROOT/$**.  You can change the prompt by changing the **$PS1** variable (see below).  At the **$** you can enter any of the valid internal shell commands, an external program file name or a script file name.  For external programs and scripts, A2osX will search in the current directory and then in the directories specified in the **$PATH** variable.

 The **ECHO** command is used to print <values> to an output device, by default the screen.  The **ECHO** command optional switch **-N** causes **ECHO** to suppress output of the carriage return that normally occurs.  Technically the format of the ECHO command is **ECHO [-N] [\<value\> ...]**.  This means that the ECHO command can be followed by the optional switch -N and one or more optional \<values\>.  In the case of ECHO, it is these \<values\> that are output by the command.  Here, values are separated by spaces, so you can do ECHO $A HELLO $B and echo will output the value stored in the variable A and then the world HELLO and then the value stored in B.  Please see \<values> for more information on how values are processed, especially in the handling of variables ($VAR) contained in a \<value>.
 
-A word about values, command lines and spaces: **ECHO Hello World** is not the same as **ECHO "Hello World"**.  In the first case you ECHO treats Hello and World as separate values and in the second, "Hello World" as one value.  Since ECHO takes multiple values, you might not notice the difference, but in the case of **IF [ $A = "Hello World" ]** if you omitted the quotes you would get a syntax error because the = operator only accepts one value on each side.  In addition, when not enclosed in quotes, extra spaces are removed so **ECHO Hello&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;World** would be output as **Hello World** as ECHO would treat Hello and World as values and output value space value.

+In addition to the usual variable substitution that occurs with \<values> (see \<value> above), the **ECHO** command performs some special character substitutions while sending output to the screen or terminal.  If placed inside a value like a string, **ECHO** will automatically substitute a backspace for the sequence **\b**, substitute an escape for **\e**, clear the screen for **\f**, send a newline for **\n**, send a \ for **\\\\** and send a % for **\\%**.  The **\e** (escape) code is useful for sending VT100 escape sequences to the screen/terminal (see the VT100 example script).  The **\\\\** and **\\%** are necessary to send those chars to the screen since normally those characters are interpreted as special command line arguments.    There is also a special **\xHH** option, that will send explicitly the char represented by the HEX value HH to the output device (screen or file).
