Hi Charlie,
Well, I personally like those cryptic commands--each one does a single
task well. I hate tabbing through a long list of checkboxes and radio
buttons (oops, which radio button in the last 15 did I check?) As for
quickness Jim, there are a few tasks in that unmentionable series of
operating systems that are achievable very quickly--but I find most
tasks very cumbersome on those graphical OS's. Of course having worked
on UNIX systems for about 8 years might have somethingto do with my
attitude.
