The main problem those of use raised on VMS have with unix is the
lack of easily remembered commands, I think.  A few examples:

want to do a DIRectory?   Use 'ls' of course!
Want to REName a file?  Use 'mv' of course!

Want to mave files from one unix machine to another?  Hmmm can't use
'copy' or 'cp'....you have to use CFS or FILEM etc.

Want to SET some terminal bit or password or file attribute etc etc.
(USe 14 different unix commands, none of which are in the index of the
local UNIX maual)

I could go on, but I have to stude this %^&&^%$# unix manual to figure
out whether I should use <esc> : x or ctrl-d to get out of this ^&&*%$#
editor!
