	This is a console client, not a command line one. – shellholic Feb 20 '11 at 15:04
	@shellholic What's your point? He explicitly mentions Terminal. – Daniel Beck Feb 20 '11 at 15:29

	In a console client, there is a user interface in a terminal. In a command line client, you type commands after commands in the terminal. For example, in the field of file manipulation, "`ls`, `cd`, `mv`, `cp`" are command line client and `mc` (Midnight Commander) is a console client. – shellholic Feb 20 '11 at 17:22
