Interesting. On my Linux with only icewm and no desktop i would be lost
without xterm. And lots of it. *g*

That's the thing. You'd be lost without xterm (Terminal for Linux) is
because your use to it.
On Mac system while the actual system used is FreeBSD UNIX the Apple Mac
Interface does all the UNIX commands and the UNIX is hidden. This was
by design. Apple wanted the users to not worry fiddling a futzing with
the system. And just be able to get work done with the least amount of
worry The way system really ought to be. It silly to have to type a
command line in a modern system just to get to something that previously
you had a menu choice for.
I don't know what all this fascination with using command line stuff to
do work. My goodness you were doing that in 1982 and 27 years later you
still want to fiddle with command line. I don't find anything geeky,
nerdy about it just old and out of fashion.
..."user" vise "tweeker"...yeah - I'm firmly in the user camp - make it
work, don't make me tweek it. I can get more done that way.
