Subject: [PATCH] Make shell.sh invocable from the root directory

Currently, developers must switch to the scripts directory before invoking shell.sh, which is one extra command. Also, calling ./scripts/shell.sh fails due to the assumption that it is run in the scripts directory.

This change makes shell.sh/bat robust against the invoking directory.
