I doubt this:

      (let ((term (aterm -tr -trsb -sh 50 -fg yellow -bg black)))
        (& ,term)))
> (get-term)

Error: undefined variable
       -tr
       (package user)

You cannot use unquote directly after "&". The argument of & is an
extended process form, which is specified in the scsh manual as:

epf ::= (pf redir1 ... redirn )

So there is no support for unquoting directly after &. Only process
forms support implicit backquoting.

We hope to provide a better API for constructing process forms in the
0.7 series of scsh, see

<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=511746&group_id=10493&atid=310493>

for a proposal.

David Frese should be able to answer this question. David?
