You are correct, and in general there seems to be a lack of support for
syntax.  The "geeks" assume that everything on a computer is done better
and faster by point'n'click, whereas the "datafiends" (in which I would
include myself) know that this is haphazard, unreliable and difficult to
reproduce consistently.  If point'n'click is so good, how come we evolved
language?
