Just being careful - I am one of “those that don’t know” and I know that I don’t know! A big word/expression for the little box at the bottom left of the screen.

CLI "Commands" are not very useful if you enter them to an "Interface" that does not understand them. If someone wants assistance, people need to know what CLI they use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface "Examples of command-line interpreters include Nushell, DEC's DIGITAL Command Language (DCL) in OpenVMS and RSX-11, the various Unix shells (sh, ksh, csh, tcsh, zsh, Bash, etc.), CP/M's CCP, DOS' COMMAND.COM, as well as the OS/2 and the Windows CMD.EXE programs, the latter groups being based heavily on DEC's RSX-11 and RSTS CLIs. Under most operating systems, it is possible to replace the default shell program with alternatives; examples include 4DOS for DOS, 4OS2 for OS/2, and 4NT / Take Command for Windows."
