  Well, since many of us probably won't be using that windoz

REXX would sure be nice.
BTW, Ken, have you noticed that IBM is going to be marketing
Starwriter as its OS/2 wp? I think it's truly a loss to all of us
that the IBM/XyQuest consortium fell apart. Not to knock TTG, but
having XY in the IBM camp looked liked a winning combination.
Sigh!
