I would like to use Bash as internal command line tool. That is when I connect to my little app I would like a Bash shell to start and handle all the commands. The only problem is that I would like to explicitly specify what commands Bash shall accept. So basically I am looking for some of the features that Bash offers like Tab-completion, Ctrl-(some Keys), History ... But I would like Bash not call external programs but rather, use functions that I have specified. Does anyone have an idea of how to do this. (Do you understand what I would like to do? I know I don't explain it very well.) /Thanks
