I Guess then, PCQL7.1 is the limit to my present setup.

Not for install. In a linux session, copying/editing files 
residing in Windows/DOS partitions, and then saving them back
requires su permission. This is not possible when logged in as
a user, hence the frustration/switching. Linuxconf was a chance 
observation I happened to stumble upon. Like I said, I am only 
an end user, not much interested in the intricacies of OSs.

Well, people tend to get used to certain things. I have tried to 
wean people away from Word Star to MS Word ( which in my opinion
is much more user-freindly ), but they feel more at home with 
their multiple key combinations, and yes, they are much faster at 
producing the same letter with Word Star than I am with MS Word. 
As for me, I could never remember the key combinations. 

As an end-user, I do prefer GUIs - not for their fancy, for their
user-freindliness.
