I'm not sure I understand this correctly but is the question whether it
is possible to start an interactive program (which a 'shell' would be)?
Yes, a simple way is to ensure your shell has the 'log = L4.Env.log' in
its start sequence in ned. Then link against the libc_be_stdin library
which gives you a working getchar() (or use libreadline).
