Re: Is Ops Navigator slow for others too?

["Leslie Russell" <leslier@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I still use the command line, why in the world would I want to hold down the
Ctrl key and click each file and drag them into the folder I want to copy
them to when I can just say;

COPY *.HTML C:\OLDHTML
????

If you use linux at all you know well and understand that all the real work
is done at the command line, just post a message to the contrary on any
linux message board, or usenet news group and see how long you last.
If IBM has fooled you into thinking that Ops Nav has the same power that the
AS/400 command line has then try swearing off the command line for ohhh a
week or so and see how long you last, if you can make it then you never
really did tha much work on the command line in the first place, but odds
are you won't last the week without the good old command line.
