Kev I don't have problems starting window from Gshell (MV) except when I want
to kill mv and keep some windows going, I get a msg saying that some procs are
still running. Solution, start some windowsfrom my startup file. I now have 1
80*24, 2 80*12 (one over the other), and 2 40*24 windows come up when I boot
up, in addition to MV. I wanted to get fancy and show off my coco3/os9 by
jumping to each window after it was created and either display a picture or a
have a msg or something else neat being displayed. But I can't get that damn
display 1b21 to work. Keith Alphonso gave me some insight on how to get around
this, but I think I left it at my old residence! Anyway, what does wmode do ?
Do I need it. I seem to be able to create windows with wcreate ok, as well as
some of the utilities that Keith sells. I'm pretty sure I was able to do this
many moons ago when I was only into os9 lII about a year or so (yeah, like I'm
a real veteran now, right !), but it eludes me again. I assume that the 1b20's
accomplish the same thing as wcreate ????

I wish I could use my coco3 at work instead of a PC. Just think, I could have
windows (or a form of them) for about $200, and segment offsets to boot! What a
deal. Can't see how Intel ever swayed the industry with that knind of
architecture.
