Hi Guenter,
I hadn't really thought of using the shell external, because I assumed it would be too slow for handling real-time message processing. Could I be wrong?

Hi,
Yes, it is true that shell isn't specifically fast, it depends on what you are using it for, i.e how fast your metro is.
Additionally I have planned an extension to shell, where the inlet is basically used to pipe commands to your script, then you don't have to start the interpreter everytime you want to execute something.
Another advantage of shell is that it will play very well with multiprocessor systems, because it's asychronous.
