	One vote for net.cog-eng!

	Are there any studies showing, quantatatively, if command
	interpreters are better than menus for (novices, occasional users,
	heavy or professional users)?

	At the USENIX in Toronto, Lesk gave a keynote address that sort
	of poked at the idea with a poorly designed 'experimaent.'

	I know that the question itself has been argued by unix-types
	for some time, but has there been a study?
