RE: Green screen - it's time is over

Bruce,

You've shattered the nail on the head...:-)

(Since it's "agin" my principles to write anything this short...;-) I'm even

stood for about 20 years...!

If they'd just get the DCG (Design Control Group) to make standard command
names, and added CL-style syntax and prompting with the man pages online...
I'd be a convert...!
