Well, that is because newer Windows version (NT-family) no longer have DOS boxes. The "black window" in NT-family Windows are command prompt and is different from a real DOS box in previous Windows (non-NT-family). Anyway, I do use command prompts quite regularly, usually for simple "ping"s and other simple commands like "chkdsk", "defrag", "attrib", etc. Yes, I do know that each of these have GUI-equivalents. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
