	Well, for other Bourne shells (like zsh or ksh), it will probably
mostly be a question of putting the initialization code in the right
file (i.e. .zshrc or .kshrc). Other than that, unless you are doing
something pretty fancy, the same code should work.

	For C-shells (like tcsh) the syntax is pretty different, so it will
probably require more changes. However, it has been a while since I
last used tcsh, so I cannot tell you how much work it would be.
