You're right on this one Marc...
 
Pulldown menus, inside a shell?  Isn't it the purpose of the shell to get
around menus, icons, etc...and get down-and-dirty right into the DOS, with a
few niceties like command-history, etc.???  If you're going to have menus and
gadgets in the shell, it might as well not be the shell at all, but some sort
of utility program like DiskMaster, or Utilimaster...or SID.
 
I'm not worried about the speech either...when I want realistic sounding
speech, I sample it.  What other computer has built in text to speech like the
Amiga?  Not clones...not macs...remember"it's not how well a waltzing bear
waltzes...but that it waltzes at all."
