No, I find 4NT to be more flexible than BASH... filename completion is 
handier, especially when multiple filenames match what you type; editing
of environment variables (especially PATH) with eset is unmatched by Bash, 
and there are some other handy things in 4NT as well, which are lacked by 
Bash.  I do alot of work with Bash on my job, under Linux, and I often rue 
the absence of 4NT there...

... of course, that's when it works...
