Well can you describe what kind of things you want to do exactly? My guess is you are not out to develop a new algorithm for virtual memory or task scheduling.
There are many parts to an OS shell. An example is the command line, i.e. bash and the like in Unix, and cmd.exe in Windows. In Windows, Windows Explorer could be considered part of the shell, as well as the start menu and all that user-specific stuff. Basically you need to pick your OS, and then find out what the API to program the shell to would be. e.g. in Windows you would do it with the Win32 API. This will let you do things like delete and create files, interact with user structures, the registry, etc. OR, as a first stab -- I would just write a prototype. i.e., don't tie it to a real OS. Just pretend you have your own "users", your own "file system", your own display space, etc. This will help you get a much better idea of what you want to do.
