    Regarding the posibility of job control - I wouldn't try to implement it
    the way it is in BSD. Something using PTYs would be easier, and could
    be made to work close to the BSD semantics. The result would be sort of
    a cross between the ATT shell-levels and CSH job control.

there should be NO JOB CONTROL in es.
