Well, I was just cloning the command line. I have a brother that uses Windows, but does not have the courage to learn how to use DOS because he's afraid that he might mess somehting up, so I figured that if I simulate the DOS command line I could teach him, and possibly other people, the value of being able to work with command line. I know that he would be safe working with a perl script on my computer, so when he's ready he could play with the DOS on his computer :).
