   Accept it as an educated guess (ie, another name for hearsay,
   innuendo & gossip):

 * multiple windows onscreen ( of the same, static, size)
       has to do with the highly efficient compression used
       by HC and backward compatibility

 * ability to define own palettes from within HC (ie not an XCMD)

 * several of the XCMD/ XCFNs -like functions built right in
       so these XCMDs won't be needed anymore

 * multi-headline buttons ( presently of single line type)

 * sprite (object) animation

 * command recall via msg box (history)

 * modeless script-environment, ie not in a modal box

 * extended, more flexible printing routines

 * enuf?
