Dear,

Recently , I got a project to develop a shell environment using NASM. But, I didnot get any clue to start with.I have basic khonowledges on NASM. Can any mentor here help me by advising how to start up.It will b very helpful to get a bit of code sample to start up?

Thanx in advance.

IMHO, NASM is the completely wrong tool for developing a program such as a shell. Be that as it may, I would first develop it in a higher level language such as C/C++. Make it extremely modularized, and then convert it, one module at a time, to assembler. If you don't already know x86 protected mode programming, you will have a very large project ahead of you.
