[Coco] How to import source code into NitrOS-9?

[K. Pruitt]

MShell definitely seems like it would be the preferred interface for a 
CoCo3FPGA.

I personally don't mind the command line interface, but I do know that OS9 
needs a good GUI, and Multi-Vue ain't it.

I've played around with MShell and am of course quite impressed and 
recognize it as a major step forward for NitrOS-9, I just don't like using a 
joystick as a mouse and that's what I have. We need a mouse-solution for the 
CoCo. Or is there already one and I'm the only one sitting here using a 
joystick as a mouse? Hehe.
