Yes. I think the point was they behave identically :)

Not bash. Check out fbi, for example.

Please don't mistake me for an apologist for current GUIs - I'm pretty sure 
that in my first email I said that they suck :) Take the Word toolbar though 
- would you prefer "Bold" or "B"? Would you prefer "right-justify" to the 
bars icon? I personally think these are excellent icons, but disagree if you 
must!

Cheers,
