This, alas, is a common problem.  Many MS-DOS users seem to not realize
how narrow their horizons are.  I remember a review (in BYTE, I think)
of a microcomputer implementation of UNIX in which the reviewer
complained that when he gave a certain command it just hung up and
didn't do anything.  He failed to realize that a large number of UNIX
command, when invoked without arguments, will read from standard input
and thus quietly wait for you to type something.
