Just my 2 cents....you're better off no matter what gear you're learning how to use to learn the CLI even if it comes with a GUI. There's this nifty feature in the command line and most CLI's that all you have to do to access it is type ?
I agree with you completely, but you missed the tab completion which also helps. This works on cisco IOS as well. type the first part of the word and hit tab to let the USR software complete the word. Tab twice normally lists all possible completions. If all certifications allowed this real world assistance I think I could ace about any certification they threw my way. I double checked and the USR code does question marks in the middle of the word instead of double tabs. (bash and newer tcsh does double tabs as well. I'm not familiar with other shells enough to speak for them.) HiPer-2>> li<tab> HiPer-2>> liST c<tab> # no response so there is more than one option HiPer-2>> liST c<?> This field is a KEYWORD.
