Hi Corona688...

By 'terminal' we do not mean the programs you run inside it, however.
I appreciate that but the WIndows Command Prompt is a pseudo_terminal with a few resident commands which makes it a pseudo_wrapper for any transient commands.
So in essence it is a terminal with its own builtin shell; that is the way I see it anyhow...
There is also 'mintty' that is part of CygWin, (mini-xterm by any other name?).
The AMIGA CLI is a shell that has no resident commands but will execute any transient ones, again like the Windows Command Prompt is a pseudo_terminal.
It also emulates a large subset of xterm's Escape codes even from its conception...
