Start the file called ZShell from Workbench or CLI (SHELL), or even
better: Put the file ZShell in the C: directory and start the file ZSH.
Now press the HELP key. Among lots of other information you see "TYPE HELP
? ...". Make sure that ZShell.doc is in the current directory or in S:
and try that. You will see how to use the ONLINE HELP . Try to type
"HELP HISTORY" to see how command line editing works. Execute the
example startup file "ZStart" or put it into the S: drawer and
have a look at it.

Things somewhere hidden in the documentation:
* To avoid using an internal command or an alias, you can put a point
before it, eg. ".assign libs: df0:libs add".
* To complete a filename, type in a bit then press TAB.
* If you use "ctrl -c *.info", DIR and Filenamecompletion ignores Icons.
* To start buffering output, use "review 20000". Press Shift+TAB to see it.
* If you have OS3.0+, try "ctrl -r 01111111".
* If you start ZShell from the Workbench-Menu "Execute Command", you
can close the window after ending ZShell with CTRL- .
* You get a standard prompt with: prompt "%n.%p> "
* Try to execute "ZShell ?".
* See Tips and Hints for more.
