 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. ".list libs:".
* 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- .
* Instead of "RUN <NIL: >NIL: command" use "RUN -C command".
* You get a standard prompt with: prompt "%n.%p> "
*  Aliases  work different to them in normal Shell.
* See  FLAGS  on how to configure some things you need.
  With that you can switch on Iconifying and use AmigaDOS wildcards.
* Try "flags debug on" to debug your script-files.
* See  Tips and Hints  for more.
