However, the +default I<system.icbrc> contains "oset editmode emacs" which overrides +this variable. To use the environment, add "ounset editmode" to your +I<~/.icb/icbrc>. + +=item SHELL + +The shell to use when running external commands from within icb, via +the I<c_chell> command (see B</help primitives>).

The new name was devised by Mark Giaquinto and John Atwood +DeVries. The actual code here is based on release 5.0.9 of the Tcl C-Icb +client. It has been severely modified by a loose knit group of users who +can't seem to part with the traditional client code. + +The parts of the code that are left over from ForumNet are Copyright (c) +1990 by Carrick Sean Casey. + +The parts of the code that are left over from icb 5.0.9 is Copyright (c) +1993 by Mark J. Reed. + +That said, cicb 5.1 is nearly a complete rewrite of the original code by +the cicb-workers committee, which includes, but is not limited to: Erik +Fichtner, Phil Stracchino, Michel Hoche-Mong, and Felix Lee. + +This man page written by B.
