Paul, Thanks for the explanation.
The reason I asked is that I need to do some work on my X system while the X system is not running, and wanted to know the capabilities of the command prompt outside of X. For example, if I run emacs, I might get a text-based emacs from which I do the work easily. Otherwise I'd have to run vi, which is far less familiar.
