    in most MS apps it's a shortcut for cut. Anyway, that useless bit of info aside...

    1) IT'S A FILM - IT'S NOT REAL !!!!!
    2) He's a programmer / hacker, he could have made an OS, or a windows type app in the style of DOS.
    3) Stop ripping the second best film ever made !

    Have you seen Swordfish yet.

    There's a bit where the dude is on a late night code run (red wine - obviously). He shouting and ranting. Prolly the most accurate depiction of a coder on film ever.

    LOL!!!!!!!!!

    I seriously think you need to get out more. You saw something in a movie, and went around trying the same stuff on every computer you see? Why not try all the gun scenes (would have been a little more interresting) It's a movie....nothing more.....let it go.....

    ever try a Wang System ? If you can still find one.
