In UNIX shell's there is a big problem. I cannot just execute 'echo $SHELL' because this will not handle macro expansion. You just get back a '$SHELL' from echo. However I can just do an env on the system and load all the parameters at Env.class static initialization time. Let me see what the command is first to get OS X to return the user shell. I think I fudged it up by attempting to read the /etc/passwd file. I think I hate environment properties now.
