John, I would like to put in a plug for GWINDOWS.  I got it with my system when
I bought it from Ed.  I am totally impressed.  It has features that I still
cannot believe.  Of course, with everything, I can compose a little wish list
for it, but basically, I don't think I could live without it now.

It did take me a little time to get over the jet lag from coming over from the
coco.  I liked a lot of its features.  Not being able to just jump from one
screen to another took a little getting used to, but now, everything seems
quite natural.

One small feature that I am really endeared to is its cut and copy feature. It
seems to have 1000 uses.  One thing I have done with it, although my need for
it is my fault, is that I have dialed up a BBS which uses hard-to-remember
passwords.  Rather than use file transfers or whatnot, I can just list it to a
screen, cut, and double-click on the telecom window and transmit it that way.
You can even send a small file this way.  I know this particular usage is not
necessary, as there are other ways, but I just use this to demonstrate what
_can_ be done.

When you can see your way clear, I would definitely go for it.
