You might want to add a 'motd' with a little welcome message and a simple 'help' listing the commands and a one liner for each of them (Autocomplete for some reason didn't work for me - Chrome 48, Mac).

I had a bug in the autocomplete. It should be fixed now. Thank you for the hint. That's a good idea!

Kudos on implementing this idea :)

It's a bit awkward, to be frank, though. When I type "ls RE", it autocompletes to "README" even though there is another file called "REST-for-TYPO3-rest.cundd.net".

So then I type in the full filename and I get "undefined":

> cat REST-for-TYPO3-rest.cundd.net

undefined

Maybe "cat " could open the URL in a window or something. It seems like the only possible thing at the moment is "ls", "pwd" and "cat README".

Ok. "Undefined" is not good. :-S For the URL stuff: you can "cd REST-for-TYPO3-rest.cundd.net". I thought of the links as if they where folders where you can step into.

Oh, now that's cool ! I see you've added a "help" command. And "cd REST-for-TYPO3-rest.cundd.net" makes a lot of sense now that I can see that "REST-for-TYPO3-rest.cundd.net" is a directory with the "ll" command.

I like it ! :)
