So job control, aliases and history don't belong in the shell, huh? Well they have one VERY big advantage over all the nifty whizzo ideas you've popped off with. They WORK. Now. Not some pie in the sky "If you had a multiple window 4kx4k color bitmapped intelligent terminal with a 12 button mouse and all that nice software and hardware you wouldn't need this" garbage. You can go and get it RIGHT NOW and it works fine. Sure it's got a few warts, what doesn't? At least it's abetter than CICS!!! Berry Kercheval Zehntel Inc.
