"you must inform the person passing you information [that Rational has a
 complete command line interface]"

I assume they know, I think it was someone from rational! The background
here was that I was arguing that a command line capability was essential
for convenient use of a compiler. Someone said, "no -- that's not true,
look at the IDE's from Rational etc." In fact it appears that the design
of APEX confirms rather than questions my original point!

Now the question is: does anyone have a compiler that has no command line
interface AT ALL tha they consider convenient to use ...
