In the Blind watchmaker video at 43mins (http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/41871790/bbc+dawkins+blind+watchmaker?tab=summary)

Dawkins says: ".....Chance intervenes, mistakes occur, occasionally they are preserved. We are nothing more than the accumulation of DNA mistakes generated randomly and guided by natural selection ...."

Is he using guided in the pattern or design sense?

You can't really interact with your environment in the same sense that you are not adapted to your environment in the sense that Linux isn't adapted to its environment or condition of existence. My premise is that mind came before matter, that my body and grey matter is a symbolic representation of my soul - the real me, which can't die. My soul is like a complex Linux idea neither here nor there and just like "Linux is adapted to its environment" makes no sense so is saying that you are adapted to your environment meaningless. Saying your interact with your environment is somewhere between a truism and meaningless....... because you can't do anything but interact with your condition of existence, which is described by your attributes. - Note that the above seems a bit confusing I would be happy to amend it but it seems a failure of language to find the correct words.
