Well, and "Disk Operating System" is a language then? :-)

Okay okay, of course I knew that he was refering to batch
programming with DOS commands when using "DOS as a language".
When people mention "DOS", I fist think about DOS/360 and
afterwards about DOS (as CP/M successor) implementations
for the PC. Shows how old I am. :-)

Anyway, a bit of DOS batch programming experience helps
people intending to write a /bin/sh shell script, and if
this task is done, a "GUI wrapper", either using text mode
with dialog, or using Tcl/Tk in X is quite easy.
