[Coco] Looping in Nitros9 Shell

[Michael R. Furman]

Robert Thanks!  I took another read of the ShellPlus 2.1 manual earlier this afternoon.  The syntax is a bit wacky but I finally figured it out.  Doing this for a burn-in test of a drivewire setup.  


var.1=0
*100
inc.1
echo === BEGIN %1 ===
date -t
ident os9boot
date -t
echo === END %1 ===
goto 100

The ShellPlus documentation I could find seems to neglect mentioning the basics of what the shell can do and mostly describes features that never made it to the Nitros9 version.
