Moved: More suitable in Programming.

Well I'm no programmer but I'm assumming you know a program language? If so, perhaps you should look at the source of existing shells to get started or how to start. Writing a shell from scratch to me does not come off as an easy task, a lot of work and a lot of dedication. What is wrong with existing shells? Perhaps anything new (features) you would want in a shell you could easily add to existing shells already in existence.
