Looks as though you're right about that.

Indeed, I seem to get along without them nicely in Linux; but Linux has ways
to make this easy, including shell scripting that's really capable without bei
ng as verbose as COBOL, and symbolic links, and being able to execute scripts
in numerous languages without calling up the interpreter specifically.  Most
of all, there's the '~' to refer to one's home directory.  

In Windows, however, I've never been able to work well in a DOS prompt without 
drive letters and a
RAM disk.  Long
directory names and deeply nested dirs are a real pain to refer to.

How do you keep your productivity up?  I'm really interested in suggestions.
