Wash you're mouth out (with soap).  The ASCII interface is the one true
interface and don't you forget it.  These programs should just what can be
done with such an interface - along with lynx, mplayer and the rest.

I don't have to swap platforms to get interface cross over.  I've typed
ESC-Shift-Z-Z to exit from XEmacs - and forever using vi commands in XEmacs.

My greatest fun is now I'm running VNC is when I have a PuTTY session
running.
The paste mouse button is just in the wrong place - especially when I've
just
pasted text into a Xterm.
