On the subject of Unix's command interface being more user friendly...

I've recently seen two product that are called somthing like Directory
Monitors or editors or somthing like that.  What they seem to do is
provide a windowed "point and go" approach to the Unix commands.
It's alot like some most of the tools that I've seen for DOS: One scrolls
through the possible commands with the space bar or arrow keys; has a 
choice of editors to use (one even had a HEX editor which you could 
patch disks and files with).  

It seemed very comprehensive and easy to use and it had the ability to
generate new windows for work areas and alot of things.  I guess the point
is that a few people have already created solutions to the Unix environment
being for technical types only.
