As the Romans said, 'Experto Crede Roberto', you are very right. An
example of a task that fails from within eshell is MacPort activity ran
as 'sudo port'.

And I must admit that sometimes I am bitten by this before remembering
that there are those cases where our beloved eshell just doen't cut it
and shell is needed.

Thanks for reminding me,
