Re: IFS command line tools question

I have a feeling the word "know" was missing from the original post - should it have been "...professionals who did NOT know you could..."?
Mark Allen's later post explained more what I think he meant - that he is surprised at folks who have been around a while but seem not to know some stuff that was de rigueur once upon a time. Like the ability to put parameters on a command line in a work with screen - that is what makes the green screen so fast for some things. Like putting an ampersand in the first position of a command parameter to get a longer entry field - I think there is a deal about putting a plus at the end of a parameter but have not tested that - it's in the help text, anyway, probably.
I dare say that there are lots of things that each of us do not know - this list helps me all the time.
Now if you really want to see a place where folks don't know what can be done, go to Rochester - many of the developers do not work much on the green screen - of course, it is not their job, and things get fairly tightly segmented there, as anywhere.

Can you be more specific? In the context of your meaning?
Let's not let it go by the intended recipient.
Is this relative to IFS tools or iNav or what?
