Line commands are methods, considered primitive by 2552 standards, of communicating with human computers by way of a keyboard, circumventing any graphical interface. Although most humans have long since forgotten them, their use still exists and is practiced by certain learned individuals such as Dr. Catherine Halsey. Dr. Halsey researched line commands for her second doctoral thesis, which she was later able to use to destroy the hostile AI Araquiel.[1]

  1. ^ Halo: First Strike, pages 127/128: The holograph of Araquiel leaned over her shoulder. "What is that? I don't recognize that directory path... or those"--he sniffed derisively--"archaic line commands." "These commands were invented, refined, and then discarded and forgotten long before even the first functional dumb AI was online," Dr. Halsey told him. "I learned them when I was fifteen, working on my second doctoral thesis."
