Michael, I found it awkward too, and I did use MS-DOS back in the day. I think we have been spoiled buy the GUI screens in most applications today. The popularity of computers is partly due to the fact that applications like Windows is easier and more attractive to look at then menu driven. Thank You, Joseph J.

The tutorial walked me through some of the basic functions of Telnet.

I was never using computers in the MS-DOS days so the commands were difficult for me. I did realize that it's still widely used although I doubt that I would ever use it again.
