Misconception. The Mac makes non-MS-DOS interfaces easy, but there are plenty of applications out there which ignore that, and do straight MS-DOS type keyboard input applications - FoxBase, for example. There's certainly nothing in the Mac which prevents you from doing this, just as there is nothing in the Amiga which forces you to. -- Mike Farren farren@well.sf.ca.usa
