Name

NewShell

Synopsis

WINDOW,FROM

Function

Create a new shell in a new console window. This window will become
the active one. The new shell inherits most attributes of the parent
shell like the current directory, stack size, prompt and so on.

The window belonging to the new shell may be specified by
using the WINDOW keyword.
