              I use it in almost every utility I write! I like to be able to run my applications "GUI-less" from the command line when in a hurry.

                I couldn't live (as efficiently as I do) without it. With tab completion, it's still the fastest way to sling files around my harddrives, and still the fastest way to upload changes to my webpages to my server. I traditionally have always had a directory c:\batch with dozens of batch files that make working on the command line even quicker. Most have to do with quickly changing to a directory that I commonly use, and with uploading files to various parts of my webserver by writing out a temporary script file that gets fed to ftp.exe -i I couldn't tolerate its disapperance :) - Jason (SonorkID 100.611) "The sort of guy who'd give the kid an extra scoop of ice cream free if he was an ice-cream man"       - Nish, on Chris Maunder

                        I still use it all the time. Microsoft seem to be burying it and the Windows Explorer deeper and deeper in the menus. Maybe in Windows.NET it'll be banished completely :(( But even so, I have faith that someone will come up with a replacement, 4NT or some such :) Bruce Duncan CP#9088, CPUA 0xA1EE, Sonork 100.10030

                              I read your signature and thought I would elaborate...

                              AdrianCooper *me = AdrianCooper::getSingleton();
                              House *theHouse = me->getHouse();
                              Fridge *theFridge = theHouse->getFridge();
                              Beer aBeer = theFridge->removeBeer();

                              if(aBeer)
                              {
                              theHouse->getTV()->addObserver(me);

                              do
                              {
                              	me->consume(aBeer);
                              	aBeer = theFridge->removeBeer();
                              } while(aBeer);
                              
                              theHouse->getTV()->removeObserver(me);
                              

                              }

                              That’s probably too much for a signature though. :)

                                Well you still have the command line under Windows. But sometimes I want to restart in command-prompt mode so I can do stuff, which I can't anymore in these versions. Isaac Sasson, Lean, mean posting machine! Sonork ID 100.13704
