It just can't be more advanced than DOS. After all, this is Fallout, and computer languages were not terribly sophisticated in the 50's and 60's. Mostly machine-code, IIRC.

Besides, if they used a *real* language, then only the l33t3st of the l33t would be able to interact with the computers....hence then commands displayed off to the side, with a higher computer/science skill yielding more commands. All the commands are still there, but you get told about more of them with a high Intelligence / Science rating.
