 For `grep`  and `sed`, the patterns are *MicroPython* regular explressions, from the `re` module. If a pattern has a space character in it, then the pattern **must** be wrapped in  single-quote ' characters; patterns without an embedded space char can simply be typed. [The line parser is basically a `str.split()` unless a leading ' is detected.] To include a single quote in a quoted-pattern, you can escape it with ``\'` .

 * this simple shell is different than [`mpfshell`](https://github.com/wendlers/mpfshell) in that *this* shell runs entirely on the target device. There is no allowance in this shell for transferring files in/out of the target.
 * after a restart of your *MicroPython* board, you can invoke the shell with `import tf`; if you `^C` out of the shell, the second invocation of `tf` will have to be `import tf` followed by `tf.main()`, since the python interpreter caches the module and only loads it once per restart; you can intentionally restart the REPL prompt by hitting `^D`
