This whole thread begs the question of whether English-language commands are
the way to go at all. :) Granted, I am biased as I am currently working in a
graphical environment. Then again, it's interesting to see what elements are
made text commands and what elements are made graphical interfaces in the
various graphical projects too.
Is it desirable, even in text environments, to have the command interface be
words?
