I wouldn't give that advice, it's rather misleading. Demo:

[david@kablamm ~]$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
[david@kablamm ~]$ dash
$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
$

Why is it so? As per 'man 1 login', $SHELL contains the shell
you *want* when you login, not the shell you *have* :)

As usual, Greg's advice is worth following.
