    The real flexibility of this approach is apparent only when you realize that there are many, many different ways to list files. Perhaps you want them sorted by name, sorted by date, in reverse order, or grouped by type. Most graphical browsers have simple ways to express this.
    But what about showing only a few files, or only files that meet a certain criteria? In very complex and specific situations, the request becomes too difficult to express using a mouse or pointing device. It is just these kinds of requests that are easily solved using a command shell.

    The role of a command shell is to give you more control over what your computer does for you.

    Not everyone needs this amount of control, and it does come at a cost: Learning the necessary script commands to express what you want done.

    sr kazza to take u txt out and cut it down .. when i was reading what u wrote i was actuallt thinking robots - or bots - if u ever tried to program a lego robot u know u make simple small scripts to make it do somethings - and if it are more complex things u combine alot of those scripts to a bigger thing

    http://mindstorms.lego.com/en-us/Default.aspx

    the one thing they say in introduction is ...Many robots are designed to do simple tasks in an efficient way to make our lives easier.

    so maybe as it was said a bot (robot to make our life easier in some way) it would also fit in the mind over matter thing
    as we use our mind to make scripts and not actually mondane clicking for hours to do tasks

    BUT - it might be true if this was the only clue but there is 4 others - so maybe a bot and some change of game content as linked or hinted in other 3 clues
