AT the command line.

WHY?

In reality, you aren't entering "ON" a line or "IN" a line, but AT a
place on the screen where the application is expecting input. Where are
you typing? AT the place where it is expecting input, which we happen to
call Command Line.

Hi all -

I've already Googled this one, and the results were:

"on the command line" = about 449,000 hits "at the command line" = about
69,400 hits "in the command line" = about 65,000 hits

I don't consider 449,000 sufficiently large to be authoritative! What do
Tech-WRLers think?
