There are shorter ways to type that stuff in. That is just an example of what you can do. It's nice that you can post FUD without doing research. Doh! You guys are idiots.

I suppose I should have expected that from Dave Cutler, but egads! "MSFT Jeffrey Snover (Expert): Q: I've heard Monad has VMS roots... will we have a utility or functionality similar to VERB to create our own verb commands and parameters? A: We are very influenced by the VMS (and AS400) environments. That said, we don't have the same set of utilities. Do define you own command, you write a .NET class derived from our base class and tag it with a NOUN and VERB. The properties of that class become PARAMETERS." <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/chats/trans/windowsnet/wnet_120704.mspx" rel="nofollow">Microsoft Chat</a> Seems that they actually used VMS as an inspiration.
