Because I did not understand his remark "tho a shell prompt would be 
even nicer <grin>" and said so. Why would one wants a shell prompt for 
POV? so I tried to ask if he wanted interactive sessions for POV, 
pointing out that the system is not interactive but only batch driven.

(thinking about it a few days later, I think he meant he did not want 
*POV* on a prompt, he wanted access to the beast for *himself*).

If you understood that immediately, you might have told me, in stead you 
choose to address me like I am a 12 year old with no computer experience 
at all, which IMHO makes you look a bit stupid. ;)
