Dann, I had a funny vision: you producing a different 50-page document every
month using Microsoft Word XP -- the CLI version!

The document would contain style sheets, graphics, a table of contents, an
index, differing column layouts in different sections, tables, outlines,
colors/shadings, footnotes, active links (e.g., URLs), etc.  The version of Word
you would use would be entirely CLI, running in a DOS box with no graphics of
any sort.  Word's thousands of commands would be completely available to you via
command-line switches and command text files.

(How many of us would even use Fritz 7 if it had only a CLI?  Every feature,
including playing on Playchess.com, would be available but accessible only by
textual commands.  I somehow think fewer of us would use it under that
scenario.)
