Yep, and even using old Windows NT you can hack the registry to have
resizable console boxes with a filename completion.  So I used to walk
around with a little paper with the hack on it so I could change
things when I had to work on another machine.  And then you get
permission problems sometimes.  And sometimes you make a mistake and
everybody gets mad at you £:-(
Since those days and my linux days I have a new philosophy that keeps
me happy regarding this sort of thing:  If something is not in the
'batteries included package' just do not use it.
