	Oh, I don't know.  I have found the Mac to be unintuitive, confusing,
	and flaky at times. Nothings perfect.

	Yes, the program manager is just a Windows application.  It can be
	replaced at start up by changing the "shell=" line in the win.ini
	file (I think).  In fact, there already are at least 6 replacements
	for the program manager.  They run from MSDOS Executive-like to 
	Mac clones with looks of icons and tash-cans and other such stuff.
	In Windows, like DOS, you can use what ever shell you want.
