<dt><b>GPS Shell</b></dt>
<dd><a name="index-shell-2"></a>
<p>Open a shell console at the bottom area of GPS. Note that this not an OS
shell console, but a GPS shell console, where you can type GPS specific
commands such as <code>help</code>.
</p>
<p>See <a href="The-Shell-and-Python-Windows.html#The-Shell-and-Python-Windows">The Shell and Python Windows</a>.

</dd>
<dt><b>Python</b></dt>
<dd><a name="index-python"></a>
<p>Open a python console to access the python interpreter.
See <a href="The-Shell-and-Python-Windows.html#The-Shell-and-Python-Windows">The Shell and Python Windows</a>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><b>OS Shell</b></dt>
<dd><a name="index-shell-3"></a>
<p>Open an OS (Windows or Unix) console, using the environment variables
<code>SHELL</code> and <code>COMSPEC</code> to determine which shell to use.
See <a href="The-Shell-and-Python-Windows.html#The-Shell-and-Python-Windows">The Shell and Python Windows</a>.
</p>
<p>On Unix, this terminal behaves a lot like a standard Unix terminal. In
particular, you need to make sure that your shell will output all the
information. In some cases, the configuration of your shell (<samp>.bashrc</samp>
if you are running bash for instance) will deactivate the echo of what you
type to the terminal. Since GPS is not outputing anything on its own, just
showing what the shell is outputing, you need to somehow ensure that your
shell always echos what you type. This is done by running the command
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">stty echo
</pre></div>

<p>in such cases. In general, this can be safely done in your <samp>.bashrc</samp>
</p>
</dd>
<dt><b>Auxiliary Builds</b></dt>
<dd><p>Open the console containing auxiliary builds output. For now, only
cross-reference automated generation output is redirected to this console.
