Could you tell us more what is needed? Depending on the shell (speaking 
for LS here), the shell specific part is usually the smallest one. The 
bigger part are the programming language and especiall win32 
programming: windowprocs, gdi stuff and the like. Those are not unique 
to shells and pretty hard to teach in a simple tutorial: way too much stuff.

E.g. a LS module needs about 3 things: the two exported functions 
(initModule, quitModule), adding bangs (which is a simple callback of 
which win32 API itself has literally hundreds) and the API for getting 
values from step.rc
