Joe et al;
 
There was a PopCLI-type program around a while back by Andy Rachmat,
called XPopCLI.  What it did was pop a CLI onto the topmost screen,
WAHTEVER IT WAS.  IT must have done some custom fiddling around, since it broke when 1.3 came out B-<.  Contact him on BIX or PLink, he may provide source.
..all I have is a binary.

John
