Yes, that=E2=80=99s correct (that=E2=80=99s also one of the suggestions Kon=
rad made).

We could take that route.  What would we call it, though?  I don=E2=80=99t =
like
=E2=80=9Cguix shell=E2=80=9D because it doesn=E2=80=99t quite reflect what =
the command is
about.  No good idea, though.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
