Most, not all. Shell's not to fond of partial selecions across a large
list which is handled quite nicely in a properly implemented GUI with CNTL and
SHIFT (note, Pan being a prime example of not doing it correctly).
I'm not trying to get into a GUI/CLI war here. I mean, c'mon, I use slrn
for news, tbird for mail, pan for binaries decodes, spend most of my time in
zsh, eschew mc except for rare uses (rarer now that I know lftp can do fish),
and code most of my Python in vim except for the few portions I design in
boa-constructor. If'n ya wanna pidgeon-hole me put me in the "uses what works
for him and is grateful for the strengths of both" slot, please. Thanks. :)
