(a) I didn't suggest that one has to have a fancy workstation before
pagination can be done right.  However, if one does have one, then
pagination done wrong definitely gets in the way.

(b) I have never thought that the UNIX Bourne shell environment is
one that should be pushed commercially as a naive-user interface.
But it should be available for what are now known as "power users",
and for them it is important to design on the toolkit (orthogonal,
modular function) principle.
