You can use shell-script-mode to edit the script and add his macro:

 	(fset 'push-line-other-window
       	"\C-@\C-e\M-w\C-n\C-a\C-xo\M->\C-y\C-m\C-xo")
 	(global-set-key "\C-xp" 'push-line-other-window )

to your .emacs (or wherever).

With the shell-script-mode window open and the shell-mode window open, you 
can use C-X p to send a line from the former to the latter.

My thanks to the orignator of this macro and apologies for forgetting 
his/her name. I think it was posted on S-news. I've used it for years when 
I want to move a line from one buffer to another.


HTH,

Chuck
