At least to avoid misunderstandings due to wrong terminology. "We UNIX guys" are usually smart enough to know what "DOS mode" refers to, but without correction such a behaviour (accepting it without mentioning that it's plain wrong) will stengthen the belief that there's a "DOS mode" in FreeBSD, or that every text mode interface is called "DOS mode". "When I switched on my modem, it only resets in TSO mode. I want CDE mode, what should I do?" :-) Depending on what environment some user comes from, the terminology chosen may vary. Some words are more advanced than others, but still wrong. > reading FreeBSD handbook is more > than enough.

It isn't that hard to find. > It's NOT DOS, and NOT WINDOWS I'm glad it's not. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
