Command Line Interface. AKA, shell. As differentiated from
point-n-click in a GUI, or pulldown menus.
The special concept of a CLI is perhaps a bit odd to people
already used to using a shell interface.
Yeah. A while after I sent the email it dawned on me that's what
he must have meant. I would have gotten it if he'd capitalized
the abbreviation. I was misled for a while thinking maybe it
was some new mega-K[][]|_ way to say "client," and I even
started to ask out loud if the word "client" was too long
for him written out. :-) The word didn't quite fit, so
I figured it was something else.
(Anyway, "bailout" is a noun;
These days, it's a profanity <g>
