Seems most of the DOS matrixes I saw for PCB were the former. Basically you sit at a C: prompt and you have "LOGIN.EXE", "APPLY.EXE", "CHECK.EXE", "FEEDBACK.EXE", and "LOGOFF.EXE" and that's about it. :)

Granted, if one were to actually make their whole system like that, and as you said, with small menus and intuitive commands, it may be interesting to look at.. but maybe not, too. heh
