Understood. That's why I posted to link to RsyncX. With the GUI front
end, it makes the job of creating a shell script very easy for a non
unix-oriented user, and creates a clickable icon that does the job.
Also remember that some are attracted to OS X *because* it has the unix
tools we are used to working with. There's nothing wrong with that
either, and it doesn't hurt a non unix-oriented user to know that there
are available unix tools in OS X to do many common tasks, even if they
do not care to use them.
