I would like to define a shift operator similar to the derivative 
for continuous time that is already built into Mma. i.e. 

Shift[ how far ][ expression head ] [ variable(s) to which shift should be applied ]

I would also like to have it enjoy a relationship to something called S sort of
like D[] and Derivative[][][].  Any ideas on how to define it or where I could
go to learn how to do it right?  I have the standard Mma reference book by
Wolfram but haven't (as of yet) been able to extract the proper way to get 
what I need.

Thanks in Advance,
Todd Pitts
