Indeed! While I like some GUI aspects, some things can't be done in GUI. One example in Windoze XP: batch file is used to receive and compress lots of files into several WinZip files using a WinZip Command Line extension. Very handy for mass handling of data based on date/time of year. I miss Rexx in command line for OS/2. I believe there are Rexx for windoze, but I haven't looked at it.

They must be bored or lazy. ;-) But then, you reminded me of that nasty Adobe pop-up installer. :-( Hmm, ( showing my absolute ignorance :-D ), what happened to that GUI thing (via TCP/IP) for z/OS which was promised a while back? If available, what is its name now?
