Hi,
  Firstly, please note: I am using (Em)TeX to write my thesis, I need it
   because I need alot of maths symbols/equations and because its free.
  Secondly, I don't want to be flamed, just answered!
  Thirdly, the comment: I believe the ASCII interface is outdated. It may have
   been OK when computers were less powerful or when writing a simple 
   program was a big deal, but now these problems have disappeared-so should
   the ASCII interface, IMHO that is.
  Fourthly, the question: considering that (La)TeX has been around for so
   long and well troden upon, why hasn't the ASCII interface been replaced
   by a more interactive and graphics based interface?
Alex.
