Re: IFS command line tools question

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a feeling the word "know" was missing from the original post - 
should it have been "...professionals who did NOT know you could..."?

Mark Allen's later post explained more what I think he meant - that 
he is surprised at folks who have been around a while but seem not to 
know some stuff that was de rigueur once upon a time. Like the 
ability to put parameters on a command line in a work with screen - 
that is what makes the green screen so fast for some things. Like 
putting an ampersand in the first position of a command parameter to 
get a longer entry field - I think there is a deal about putting a 
plus at the end of a parameter but have not tested that - it's in the 
help text, anyway, probably.

I dare say that there are lots of things that each of us do not know 
- this list helps me all the time.

Now if you really want to see a place where folks don't know what can 
be done, go to Rochester - many of the developers do not work much on 
the green screen - of course, it is not their job, and things get 
fairly tightly segmented there, as anywhere.
