In version 2.9 I was able to give myself developer access via XPCOM in the Mozilla based HTML viewer. There were some hiccups, like no screen refreshes while editing in the text boxes, so it was a little bit dangerous.

I can't find the HTML files that I used, but it basically allowed me to write to /etc/er_registry.txt to add an entry for sh files. For the modern version of the iLiad software, you would need to edit /mnt/settings/registry/registry.xml and hope that you don't mess it up. The application section looks like this:

Code:
        <application type="SHELL">
            <appCategory>viewer</appCategory>
            <xResourceName>sh</xResourceName>
            <ipcChannel>14</ipcChannel>
            <argMask>_FILENAME_</argMask>
            <execute>/bin/sh</execute>
            <supportFormat>
                <extName>sh</extName>
            </supportFormat>
            <appIconPath/>
        </application>
