To compare programming with running a few commands from a prompt is the height of know-nothingness.You're being overly harsh.
I'll admit to being a *bit* harsh, in an "oh, puhleeze" manner. No more.
Yes, running a few commands is not "programming", but yes, many windows folks will go into a tail-spinning panic if they have to actually type a command.
Seen that, but not been there (I started on TRS-80 and then went to CP/M). But the leap from "type a few commands" to "had to program" is a leap too far. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail.
