Personally I don't think Columns should be too fancy... The game is
a beauty as-is, only a couple of small enhancements (like auto-repeat
on the keys, and the keyapth's '0' instead of the '2' as the drop-key)
would make it better... It would also be nice if it were a DA.

Another small lack is that when it comes up with a 'enter your name'
dialog, the current entry isn't selected. What about a TESel(bla, 0, 32767)?
(Or was it TESelect?)

At the moment I can't think of anything more, combining Columns and
Tetris would make it more challenging, but it would also make it a
completely _new_ game. Currently getting scores higher than 600 gives
me enough troubles :)))))

BTW, Columns is much more challenging than Tetris :)
