The magic required back in the days of V2.2 was as follows:
     char *argv [2];
     argv [0] = "-shell";
     argv [1] = NULL;
     os9exec(oskfork, 1 + argv [0], argv,...); This will do it.  When shell
sees the leading '-' on it's forked named (passed as it's argv[0]) it will read
the .login file.  Before the fork, you should already have chd'd to the
directory where .login is to be found.
