Gi Howard, if you worked with DOS, then you know what a console aka terminal is: You worked on it. The DOS user interface was completely text only screen aka display as output and a keyboard as input.
The successful graphical user interface made of pixels aka dots of color called Windows was based on DOS, which could be opend up always by pressing Winkey+c. Then a DOS box was painted by pixels. HTH guenter .Am 13.07.23 um 21:08 schrieb Linux for blind general discussion:
Back in the end of DOS days, I used a menuing program. One could arrow to an item or type its initial character and it would call a DOS executable. There was even a program such as this included with the last couple versions of DOS. So would I say I was working in console mode? Or maybe console mode is when you are commanding the operating system directly? Then, how does console mode differ from terminal mode? Or is that a whole other thing? Howard--
