Jeron, thank for your reply.

I have very limited experience (I wrote my last QBasic program in 1992) in
this matter and you have confused me a bit.

What is GUI code? I have no idea what you are telling me here.

<Serious programmers (whom I think you're targeting?) will be familiar with
commandlines for their chosen operating system(s).

The 'target' for my books and the programs are general audience readers,
particularly teenagers. They would not be able to deal with programs that
required command line entries.
