All MM/1 developers:

  These are a few of the things that I would like to see implemented on 
the MM/1  -

o - device drivers that time out when I try to do a dir on a non-existent
    drive, or print to a printer that's not on-line.

o - a screen print routine that would only require a 2 key combination to
    print the contents of the current screen (text OR graphics).

o - a cut-'n-paste facility for any listable file.

o - a file browser to go with the above. Must be able to QUICKLY move thru
    the file using the arrow/shifted arrow/pg. up/ own keys and additionally
    to be able to 'M'ax to the top or bottom.

o - a file management utility similar in output to 'dir e', but with a
    command line at each file to invoke Browse or Edit.  The addition of
    Move and Copy as options would be nice also, but not required.

o - a standardized Environment/Profile format where each app could go to
    get the user's preference for screen colors, fonts, overlay colors, etc.
    

  More as I think of them.  

  ...Jim
