I have to give the 100 GPs to C. Gray since he came the closest
on 5), although Caliban was in the neighborhood with JCL.
I think Caliban has a good point with the discussion involving
"intuitive" and well designed user-interfaces. Here is really
where I am going with this...
Surely 2) or 3) above is the most user-friendly of the above commands.
At least on the surface.
There is one level of user interface we haven't discussed. What about
the pop-up menu interface? This is sort of a halfway point between the
command level and GUI level. I think of Norton/Midnight Commander
as a good example of this (at least as a common reference point).
Any thoughts on this level of user-interface?
