[Coco] possible bug in the shell

I don't know if any of Tormod's work applied to the shell at all, but in
the 3.2.9 version I'm using, when I run decode with no parameter, instead
of getting the output from the error trap (I'm trapping the 56 no parameter
error), the cursor drops to the next line and sits there. I have to press
[END] (equiv of [BREAK] on my keyboard) twice to break out. It must be a
bug in the shell, because I never saw this behavior under the original OS-9
L2 shell. Or with the original 1.2 shellplus I had back then. I was always
able to trap for no parameter.

Any possible fix for this? I really need to trap for the error.
