Hi,

Perhaps I am missing the point entirely but do unix mk-with-sh users
generally (always) use sh as their login shell?

One could just code mk to fork the shell specified in the SHELL=3D
enviroment variable if it exists (bash/ash/sh/ etc) and rc if not
(I'm pretty sure rc doesn't set shell=3D).

one could also override this using:
	SHELL=3D/bin/sh mk

It does feel a bit like more(1) changing mode when stdout
is a tty, but mk appears to have fallen the way of all software
(backward compatability) so somthing has to give...

just my 2=C2=A2
