My origin question was:
>> does anybody know, for what is the FMLI (form & menu language interpreter)?
>> In what case we can use the FMLI effective ?
The most efficient answer was:
->Production environments with computer illiterate users can be given menus
->in order to run applications, print files etc. That way you remove the
->ugly UNIX shell prompt from their repertoire, and they don't have to buy
->any cryptic UNIX books 8-}
