 Well that's a way of doing it. But it's pretty inconvenient. The shell lets you edit a FileSystem, XML file in place. Then of course I've got to test bbx_filesystem.c very rigorously because it must work, it's the heart of BabyXFS. So by writing the shell, I flush out any problems with it.
 And of course now the fun part of the project comes in. I add MiniBasic to the shell, so you can run basic programs from it.
 

I'd expect to run ksh commands from within ksh, bash commands from within bash, etc.
I wouldn't expect a filesystem to be part of the shell at all.
