Since it was chosen as the default shell for grml, I thought I would 
investigate it some. It is a superset of bash. i.e., it does everything 
bash does and lots more. The the moment the only new feature I have 
implemented is called auto-cd, and it is very nice. Just type the name 
of a directory as though it were a command and it does a cd into that 
directory. If I can be sure it is at least as convenient to use as bash 
was, I will keep it for sure. It also has a very nice configuration and 
initialization scheme.

Chuck
