One (hopoefully) final comment. As a new Linux user, who probably
spent more time on the DOS prompt than most windows users, I find the
greatest thing about the Linux GUI is that you can run a terminal in it
that interacts with the gui. You not have to pick whether or not you
want to work on gui or the shell, for the session. You can switch back
and forth doing shell-convenient tasks there while doing gui-convenient
tasks there. It's great. You can't _really_ interact with windows
from a DOS prompt window, and (pre-OSX) I've never heard mention of the
"Mac prompt".
