Mac OS X utility to learn command line

[Clinton MacDonald]

Friends:

Here's an interesting Mac OS X-only utility called Clix. Clix is a GUI 
list of many, many command line commands (ls, dmesg, sudo, df, etc.). 
Included are regular Unix-style commands as well as some OS X-specific 
commands (the "defaults write..." commands that OS X uses to alter 
preference files). One can act on any command right from the Clix 
window. It's quite a nice deal to be able to browse a comprehensive list 
of important (and obscure) commands with explanations *and* examples 
(take *that*, man pages!):

Clix still has a few issues; for instance, there does not seem to be any 
obvious way to enter a password for "sudo" commands. Still, it's worth a 
gander.

Best wishes,
Clint
