Description
If on bash:
chsh -s /bin/zsh && exit
If on zsh:
chsh -s /bin/bash && exit
When you reopen Hyperterm.app the shell will have not changed. This is not the default behaviour of Terminal.app or iTerm.app.

Research direction
Reproduce the report on OS X by switching between bash and zsh with chsh, exiting, and reopening Hyperterm.app. Start by tracing how the app selects the user's shell at launch, then compare its behavior with Terminal.app or iTerm.app. Done means the newly selected shell is honored without logging out of the operating system.
