Description:

psh - the Penguin shell ;-) is a very simple bash-like shell written to
run under RISC OS.  The main purpose of psh was to add GNU readline
editing facilities to the RISC OS CLI and to provide a shell which
could be executed usefully from vim. (Originally :sh from inside vim
would call GOS.  But GOS exits after an application is run, so things
like e.g. ls would cause it to exit).  psh supplies a number of
builtin  commands and facilities to make things look more like Unix,
including ., autoconv, bye, cd, dirs, exec, exit, help, history, popd,
pushd, pwd, read, source,
