## What it is for

Opie-sh is designed to be a frontend to Opie that can be used from the console. This is especially useful for creating interactive shell scripts, as it will use the Opie interface (which is presumably familiar to the user) instead of a text based interface (which can be confusing). It can also be convinient for prototyping an app that you want to write for Opie without actually bothering to break out the cross compiler. Opie-sh does not use an Opie specific libs, so you can just as easily use it with Qtopia.
