Ok. Honestly, it doesn't feel quite right to me.

I haven't played with U-Boot's shell too much but is there no way to 
assign variables from command outputs? For example, can we do something 
like `foo=$(cat a.txt)`? If that is possible, maybe add some new 
subcommands to "sf" that return this information?
