No not really I just wanted to look under the hood. Thats how I've gained most my experience with windows and more recently with Linux. I know it shouldnt but my mind reels a bit that there isnt a CLI in OS9. They're just so usefull. I use winXP as my main OS and I still need to use DOS occasionally! For instance I wanted to creat a list of all my albums on an external HD, there are over 900 and i didnt fancy typing it out :-). Instead of downloading some crap I discovered some simple DOS commands that did it for me. How would you do something like that in OS9?

I think we've pretty well bashed the notion of a CLI in the Mac OS in other replies... But it all leaves one question: Is there a specific operation or task you were/are trying to perform that made you reach for a CLI? We can probably recommend the right tools to be used... - Dan. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
