Agreed --- but the new Microsoft shell looks very interesting. Ars has a good review of it here: http://arstechnica.com/guides/other/msh.ars It borrows from all over the place, including Perl, Python, (ba)sh, and SQL, so the syntax sometimes seems to fight itself. But, overall, I'm very impressed. It looks a lot like the python interpreter, except customised to focus on file manipulation and process management (since that's what shells are for). -- John. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
