Keep in mind that this is not *just* elderly people.  This applies to
/anyone/ lacking CLI skills/experience.  And in the greater computing
world, that population is likely somewhere around 99.9% of the total
population.

In today's world, if it does not have a GUI, almost no one can make use
of it.  And, sadly, the shift to "if it does not have a toucy/feely
cell-phone app" is creating a huge base of 'users' who only know how to
use something if their "phone" allows them to do so.  In fact, many of
the young who have only ever known a "phone" have no concept of "files"
or a "filesystem" so the knowledge gap is growing worse rather than
better.

I made this version for a german regular especially, because he had
difficulty to understand the old CLI version, with just two commands.

He is not alone, and he is in a population that not only includes other
elderly, but also a very many not elderly people as well.
