Christmas bloatware

In ye olde days of lore when I once used this simple, DOS command line word processor. Nice to explore how this works with your students.
     c:\>type con>lpt1:
     Press Ctrl-Z to exit (EOF)

you should be able to run and use WordStar to your heart’s content. with FreeDos 1.0. We had fun using this at school last year. Even Python can run on FreeDos.  :-)

Thats the nice thing about a scripted languages like Python and Logo. You can fiddle about with single line commands, trying things out. Baby steps are a great way to learn.
     Print "Hello, World!"

I am currently trying to follow the instructions to reassemble a giant spingless trampoline.  We did all right last evening but the final assembly was too big to take out of the garage. Christmas bloatware, AGHHH!
