    This line is bugging me #fall through exec_bin "str_cmds %s" end_cmd I am guessing if no commands it goes here! I am not sure how to call this in JS in this shell. Other's use ; and command correct?

    Maybe some more context would be useful but in JS you would use // for
    a single line comment or /* whatever */ for a comment block.

    Other shell's use the ; prefix for string commands, yes, but not the simple shell.

    Why is this a while() loop?

    Looks like a potentially infinite loop (when console.getkey() returns some unexpected value).

    Why is this function being reimplemented here?

    I am rechecking it. It was a draft, I see a lot of mistakes.

    This is just going to eat the CPU while waiting for keypress. Why?
