+A interactive PHP Shell
+=======================
+
+The more I work with other languages like python and ruby I like their way how they
+work on problems. While PHP is very forgiving on errors, it is weak on the debugging
+side. It was missing a simple to use interactive shell for years. Python and Ruby have
+their ipython and iruby shell which give you a direct way to interact with the objects.
+No need to write a script and execute it afterwards.
+
+
+Starting the Shell
+------------------
+
+Starting with PHP_Shell 0.2.1 starting the shell is done by calling the shell-wrappers:
+
+$ php-shell.sh
+
+or on Windows
+
+> php-shell.bat
+
+Write your own wrapper
+----------------------
+
+Sometimes you want to write your own shell where you provide your own defaults, colours and
+error-handlers.
+
+<?php
+    error_reporting(E_ALL);
+
+    require "php-shell-cmd.php";
+?>
+
+and execute it with:
+
+$ php -q php-shell.php
+
+Inline Help
+-----------
+

+
+Shell Colours
+-------------
+
+The shell supports colours to seperate Exceptions from normal output of your 
+functions. To enable the colours you can to set:
+
+>> :set background=dark
+
+By default the colour-schemes 'plain' (the default), 'light' and 'dark' are
+defined.
+
+You can also register your own colour schemes:
+
+>> $__shell->registerColourScheme( 'custom', array(
+..   "default" => PHP_SHELL::C_LIGHT_RED, /* colour of the prompt */
+..   "value" => PHP_SHELL::C_BLACK, /* colour of a return value  */
+..   "exception" => PHP_SHELL::C_RED, /* colour of a exception  */
+.. ))
