Since you are new to this stuff, the discussion has probably outlived 
its usefulness.  We're now in the weeds somewhere, trying to nail down 
all aspects of "shell identification".

For the simple case of "logging in, running commands...", you are 
correct.  The Window Settings menu should be accurate, as is the trick 
of querying netinfo mentioned earlier in the thread.
