What is the "magic" to create a "login" shell.  Just doing a plain old
os9exec(os9fork,"SHELL",...) creates a sub-shell.  I want to do something
simular to what login does.

I plan to write an "Xlogin" program (X11 program that displays a window with a
Username: and Password: boxes  that will log a user into an X11 display,
running an X11 startup procedure, but I want to provide the user with his/her
login environment (i.e. I want .login to get executed).
