LOL... sorry for being unclear. I think the most common expression is "elevated command prompt" (1.7 million hits on Google). In this context "elevated" refers to an elevated security token. With UAC, even members of the Administrators group need to request elevation. I dislike the name "command prompt". "Elevated shell" would suit me, but on Windows "shell" typically refers to the graphical shell (desktop, taskbar, start menu) and associated Shell32 APIs such as ShellExecute. Calling the console shell the "Command Prompt" is left over from DOS, for which it was literally named for the "Command" shell (like saying bash prompt). Now it's like calling a tissue a Kleenex. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
