NAME
       nxsh - Simple shell containing NSF/NX interpreter

SYNOPSIS
       nxsh ?fileName?

______________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       nxsh ?fileName?
              nxsh is a shell-like application that reads NX and Tcl commands
              from its standard input or from fileName and evaluates them.  If
              invoked without fileName, then it runs in REPL mode, reading
              commands from standard input and printing command results and
              error messages to standard output.  It runs until the exit
              command is invoked or until it reaches end-of-file on its
              standard input.

              nxsh can be used like tclsh to make NX scripts directly
              invokable from the shell, by providing the following first line
              ("shebang") in the respective script:
              #! /usr/bin/env nxsh

              A (more portable) alternative is:
              #! /bin/sh
              # the next line restarts using nxsh \
              exec nxsh "$0" "$@"
