ShellService is a service component — it provides functionality that other applications use.In the Services menu (under the application menu), ShellService adds an item called Execute Text. This item will be enabled whenever you have text selected in applications which support the service.

In other words, to get a dir listing into the mail app, just type "ls" highlight it and then select execute text in the service menu. No copy or paste needed. And because it works with any unix command output you can make the listing any format you buy using the command's options.
