  Modify your OS/2's AUTOEXEC.BAT file by removing the REM statements
  Bingo! You have DOS's EDIT.EXE and DOSKEY features.

  What's wrong with DOS "whereis" program?  Need one?  I wrote one that
  you all can have.

  Nothing wrong with command line.  I used almost all type of machines,
  and command line provided great feature in some situation.  It is 
  nice that you don't have to worry about screen clubbering with icons or
  windows.  It is nice just to issue a single command, like "cls", and
  you bingo you have it.  On the hand, graphical interfacts are great for
  certain situation( for me anyway, manage files is great with gh-interfact).
