Actually, he was talking about running TimEd as a user accessible message 
reader/editor.  He'd need to run the Doorway program off Max to do that _and_ 
the user would need a good terminal program like Telix which supports 
"doorway mode".

It would be-- for sure.  I thought it was a really bad idea but SH brought up 
something I hadn't thought of.  It *may* be possible to do it safely with the 
RELEASE version of TimEd (1.10) by redefining its keys and (also) imposing 
certain restrictions on Doorway.
