Well, I like Unixy stuff and saw huge benefits in MPW. By benefits, I mean ways in which MPW improved upon the Unix shell. For example: you can reuse prior commands by repositioning your cursor, build scripts by selecting a black of commands, and the output could be reused as input for the command interpreter. And "commando" was a godsend: instead of copying command line switches from a man page, you built the command line with a dialog box. I will grant you that it's complex, and it doesn't really fit in with the Mac philosophy. > you have 2 versions of a trap file to link: MacTraps > and OldMacTraps, which probably ensures compatibilty with a Mac 512k > (I'm willing to believe), perhaps even the Mac 128k. I never thought of that hypothesis. Thank-you for suggesting it.
