Subject: Example of simple Microshell script.

 Somebody asked me for an example of microshell scripts, the following includes
 a few of the commands and does not make use of any of the microtools.
 What I needed is a script to make the output of 'SD $SDALNP' more readable.
 I needed to set the printer margins,etc; form feed in between drive listings,
 I wanted the date, and the option to specify system and library files.

 I 'FILTER'ed the file to eliminate control chars (like ESC G4, ESC G8,
 ESC [ 1;96s, etc I use for my Televideo 950 and Qantex printer).

 The script is in a file called 'hdisk.shl' and it is invoked by the name
 'hdisk <parameters>'
