Does file:eval really permit executing normal shell commands?
That is, reading record definitions using rr("record.hrl") for instance?

I too would be very happy to have a source command functionality for the 
shell.

Preferably the "source command" would be a normal function rather than a 
shell command so that one could automatically read in a number of 
definitions when Erlang starts without typing anything.
