Guy Harris (talk | contribs) →CLI and resource protection: Note that not *all* CLIs support PATH; give Unix-like systems and Windows as systems that support PATH, and speak of PATH *and equivalents* for other systems that allow this. In the "restrict available commands" paragraph, mention restricted shells, where setting PATH to include only directories with permissible commands limits the user's ability to run other commands. |

Line 306:
Programs like BASIC, [[diskpart]], [[Edlin]], and QBASIC all provide command-line interfaces, some of which use the system shell. Basic is modeled on the default interface for 8-bit Intel computers. Calculators can be run as command-line or dialog interfaces.
[[Emacs]] provides a command-line interface in the form of its minibuffer. Commands and arguments can be entered using Emacs standard text editing support, and output is displayed in another buffer.
There are a number of text mode games, like ''[[Colossal Cave Adventure|Adventure]]'' or ''[[King's Quest#Series|King's Quest 1-3]]'', which relied on the user typing commands at the bottom of the screen. One controls the character by typing commands like 'get ring' or 'look'. The program returns a text which describes how the character sees it, or makes the action happen. The [[text adventure]] ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (video game)|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]'', a piece of [[interactive fiction]] based on [[Douglas Adams|Douglas Adam's]] book of the same name, is a teletype-style command-line game.
