 In UNIX history, the Thompson shell preceded both the Bourne shell and the C shell, and its command language is a subset of both of these shells. Control flow in the Thompson shell is implemented via [[http://v6shell.org/man/if.1.html|if]](1) and [[http://v6shell.org/man/goto.1.html|goto]](1), which are external shell utilities. However, flow control in the Bourne and C shells is built into each shell. In UNIX history, the Thompson shell preceded both the Bourne shell and the C shell, and its command language is a subset of both of these shells.

 Expand on the differences/similarities in light of the preceding content. One important thing to notice is that though there are differences... The similarities are more important IMO. After all, it is the similarities that allow the user to switch from one shell to another with little difficulty. Expand on the differences/similarities in light of the preceding content.
