Ah thank you, I know someone who knows more about LINUX than I do
(and that wouldn't have to be much) so I'll quiz him about it further.
Yes, I knew that the OS10 operating system was based on a UNIX system
but wasn't quite sure what the terminal did, in the PC world I always
thought of a terminal as a comms programming, allowing you to
communicate between say your computer and external devices such as
modems and the like.

I suppose I should have explained that there are plenty of commands
you can run without installing anything further; because I have run
linux and wanted to install more I skipped that basic fact. Having
already been familiar with linux I had some ideas what I could run
with the terminal so I haven't specifically done reading on the Mac's
Unix system. Maybe somebody onlist can point you to some
documentation. a lot of people don't know anything about the
underlying Unix system when they start with the Mac; in fact, I think
quite a few never do anything with it; glad you've discovered it. The
way voiceover works with terminal isn't optimal but now that I'm used
to it, it isn't usually a hindrance.
