Be a Mac user since System 6. Not up to speed on Unix. I'll stick with the classic Seti for now. When I get time I'll see what sorts this out. Thanks.

Mac OS X etal is just one of the many flavours of unix. There is just the Mac all encompassing pretty GUI that hides everything (:-))

You can have pretty much the same on Linux where you go through from install to everyday usage with never needing to even see a command line let alone do any typing.

(Hell, there's even a desktop that has been made to look and feel just like Windows, even including the double-clicks fun (:-/)


Some things though are still 'nicer' on the command line (:-P)
