If what you say is true, why when you run a /bin/sh script doesn't
exec run your shell scripts through /bin/zsh?  After all, you set
SHELL to /bin/zsh.

I think that the resulting havoc would be kindof amusing.


Suggestion:  the bash man page has a lot of good material on this
topic.

I disagree.  The Bourne Shell would be my answer.
