Perhaps instead of losing you time with this, you would better use one
of the  other strengths of  unix: it's modularity, and  implement your
own shell, or try scsh (scheme  shell).  There, you don't have to mess
with sh idiosyncratic syntax: you just write pure lisp to combine your
commands.  There is also an easy way to replace to EOL chars by one in
scsh.
