Re: The Terminal utility of OS10

[Travis Siegel]

And, on a unix system, a terminal is the same thing, only instead of  
talking to devices, you're talking to the os directly.  In this case,  
terminal means console, not modem, but the basic premace is the  
same.  It's basically your command line interface to the mac, since  
you can execute any program from the terminal, including the  
graphical ones.  I think, once I work out how to make the terminal  
talk automatically, I'll probably use it for everything, because it's  
just so much faster for doing things such as move, copy, and the  
like.  Of course, I'll have to put in some sym-links to make those  
paths shorter.  Spaces in file/directory names really irritate me.   
We can quote them to get around that, but at least OSX isn't case  
sensitive like most unix flavors are, so that at least is a point in  
our favor.
