What does this add, other than a few colours, to the shell? Seeing as you promote it as an "Advanced SHell"

Nothing Extra, YET (do know this is still indev) but i am adding more stuff as we speak (i have notepad++ open now) 1 thing is that it's a lot more shorter and more linux-like

of course, you'd be taking advantage of the fact that it's running inside of the parent shell and don't actually need to define all the shell API.

yeah but that's everybody's advantage

So, it's not a shell. It's a wrapper for the shell that looks shiny and colourful?

Ya. You really should add something that is actually useful, like tab-completion or permanent history (command history saved to a file, that you can reuse it even if the computer is rebooted)

I knew I was psychic!

It's so colorful that it all bends and makes sweet-colorful-shiny-blinky mess, keep your shinyness under control or powderpuff girls will pop out of it ;)/>

alternative shell for ComputerCraft

This is in no way a replacement/alternative for the default shell, it runs on top of the shell and makes some visual modifications. If I was to remove the original shell, this wouldn't run at all.
It's an awesome idea and I really like how it looks and what it's going to add like tab completion (something I always wanted in CC) but please don't mislabel it. I would say it's more like a modification/extension for the default shell.

Looks so much like MacOS X Terminal or Raspian Terminal…Except for the colors.

You do relize that something like this has already been made? I'ts called kilOS.

There are so many OSes that it is impossible to keep track of all off them. Even if it was done once, why not make it again?
