I think you are doing a big mistake if you treate the users as idiots. I have a daughter that only uses Microsoft. Once when she was here one of my sons helped her to do some downloads from a friends ftp server. As he is a Unix administrator he learned her to use ftp from a konsole. She had no problem what so ever and liked to know what she was doing. If you take away what is the pure blood of Unix, it says more about you or the users in France than about the necessity to hide the beaty of Unix. regards guran -- Mandrake Linux Cooker 9.2, KDE, kernel-2.4.22.4mdk-1-1mdk, Version:20030904 10:22 Only in a society that has 'a priori' defined what is the truth can the result from the evolution of life be defined false.
