Does anyone know of any keyboard interface methods for the 
macintosh? Perhaps I am only looking for change, but there are many
advantages over mouse manipulation - Having both would be idea. . . Some
of you may be familiar with CLIM (command line interface (from wuarchive
wustl.edu), and it was succesful, butI could never figure out how to 
overcome one major problem. . . Most mac programs have two words or parts
to them, and CLIM (Like msdos) can only handle one. . . Any suggestions for a
program/system file that could handle keyboard input only? Diskcopying,
secotr reading, filecopy, filedelete, and most functions would be a good
option. . . I would be using CLIM right now if it allowed wildcards. .. 
Please, no remarks about "duh, why don't you go to an IBM then you weenie!"
Well, I simply feel that it would be to my benefit to be able to 
use both techniques. . . (something that replaces/simulates the finder would
be great for certain things...)
thanks in advance for reading/considering this article. . . later
