Lisp shells

John Lacey requested information on Lisp shells. John Ellis implemented
a shell for a PDP-11/45 running Unix in Harvard Lisp in 1979.

	ACM SIGPLAN Notices, Vol. 15 #5, May 1980

John Levine has a paper about using Lisp for a command language in the
same issue of SIGPLAN Notices ("Why a Lisp-Based Command Language?").

Of course, you might do well to look into the Lisp Machine interface,
both before and after the fancy Symbolics interface that allowed
non-Lisp-syntax commands.
