Hello Larry,

BUT when you don't know what us CLI guys know, it's PAINFUL to watch someone who is not CLI trained do so in the CLI.
Yap, I agree. This also universally applies to any other OS with a choice of GUI vs. command line. Although all the menu and fill-out forms in IBM i are in fact a TUI: A middle way between a GUI and a plain command line.

Allow me to emphasize that neither GUIs nor TUIs free the operator from actually knowing what he's about to do. A fact which sometimes goes missing within heated arguments about the superiority of GUIs. My usual example: If you don't know anything about DNS, the DNS manager on Windows Server systems is equally (not) helpful as being required to edit a textual zone file.
As often, a more elaborate display of my opinion is to be found here.
