running fp menu scripts as user, not filepro

And anyone that creates or edits a menu for filePro can put the following
command in it:

rm -rf /appl

Then it will execute as filepro, and you're utterly and completely boned,
barring backups--which still may not have all your most recent data.

It's a security risk.  You don't let someone near an suid shell unless you
have a Really Good Reason[tm], and there is implicit trust in the using
party.
