Howdy. :) Wanted to let you know that I published a demonstration Unix-like shell program based on glomming together:
- Klaus Bu\'s SDHCFileSystem and - FATFileSystem library out of Thomas Hamilton\'s SDCard program
Result: you can use SDHC cards with a plethora of filesystem functions at your disposal (open w/ various modes, remove, opendir, etc...)

It's rough around the edges but you get the idea. For example, the path name resolver is very primitive. It understands the last ".." in a path but won't do multiples like "../.."
I got really sick of swapping my sd card between PC and mbed. Now I can just see what's in the file via head command... or use terminal capture to download file contents via cat command.
