Rick: The good news is that the command prompt is alive and well in MacOS X beta. I think it will be more hidden in the final release, however I believe that it will still be there. Even as I write some people are trying to replace what is missing. Curiously enough TCL is there.. but the wish and tclsh are missing. FTP and Telnet are available from the shell. BSD Unix is there, intact, if only stripped down. Essentialy what is there is the Darwin core of MacOS X server. OS X also includes an Apache web server! Check out this URL http://zieg.mco.enteract.com/ and http://zieg.mco.enteract.com/. There will be lots more stuff out there. There are more than a few of us Mac people who also love unix..but for different reasons. I'm happy to have a new OS that has such good underpinnings (BSD). Your Mac Tech people will like the fact that even OS X beta doesn't crash... the OS 9 (which runs within OS X).
