You might also want to check up on ParcPlace's new interface. I believe
they are using it on the MAC versions of ST80. It's called Navigator or
something like that ... I've seen it running on a SPARCstation. Very slick.
I'm not sure why they haven't ported it for the other platforms yet.
It allows 2-d scrolling (like that in ST/V), dynamically resizeable
subviews (maybe its called something else...) and directories looking
exactly like the way Russ described them ... what more could you want??
(except colour, natch').
