Well I guess it depends upon what you are used to. Most windows programs behave in a very consistant way ... except maybe for Fritz 5 ;-) .... so it is easy to learn how to use them. With Rebel it is not immediately obvious to me how to do some things, as it is with most windows programs. I don't think that anybody hates DOS programs. It is just that like me they prefer the better quality interface that can be found on windows programs. John Coffey
