10.5: One way to put Stacks to good use

I'm with you on that one! I like the G in GUI to stand for Graphical! Oh, hang on, it's already meant to!

I'm not knocking the people who do, 'cause it obviously works for them, but it stuns me when I see people explaining how they (for example) use Terminal to make a backup of a file (re-name it). I just don't get how starting terminal, switching to the appropriate directory, then typing "sudo mv filename.ext Filename -old.ext" is better than opening finder, navigating to the directory, then hitting return! GUI every time for me please!
