[Coco] MShell The Ultimate OS9 File Manager

[Nick Marentes]

I've been waiting to hear some feedback from others of your Mshell but 
all has been quiet.

I'm very interested in seeing it but unfortunately haven't been able to 
get it running.

The problem stems from a boot NitrOS-9 that doesn't have CoWin and all 
the necessary font and things.

I have all but given up with OS-9 and the whole "make a new boot disk" 
thing. Can I suggest to create a preconfigured demo DSK of MSHELL set to 
boot NitrOS-9 with the require modules already installed?

Is that possible to allow people to see your program regardless of how 
they have their NitrOS-9 configured?

Is it possible to load the required modules from a startup without 
having to generate another boot?

I tried using a MultiVue DSK I found that boots up MV (on my CoCo-SDC) 
so I have been finally able to see it. The colors are all wrong and 
changing them in the control panel doesn't seem to keep them on next 
boot. I almost had MShell running with this DSK but an error popped up 
and it failed again.

I think I really would like to see an easy-to-use PC program (No degree 
in OS-9 needed!) where one can tick the boxes and have it generate a DSK 
ready for booting on the CoCo.
