Errr....

The thing about a UNIX sell is that there _are_ no menus.  ANSI, ASCII or
otherwise.  The UNIX command shell looked like this:


$


unless you logged on as SysOp, in which case it looked like this:


#


Of course, a UNIX command-shell wouldn't be authentic unless someone wrote a
'vi' editor to use in place of SyncEdit.  Which isn't such a crazy idea, after
all, since 'vi' was designed to run over a serial connection, and since there
must be at least a thousand open-source implementations if 'vi' out there.  But
I guess some ninny would demand a port of 'emacs' too....
