I just was informed I'm soon to be getting a Trailblazer for use on my good
old vanilla Mac II at home.  I used to use uw, which worked OK; however, bit
rot seems to have set in and at the moment it's converting my ^S's, ^A's, and
^Q's to ^As, ^Aq and ^Ar respectively.  Aaargh!  Plus I'm not having much luck
at getting the keyboard map set properly; the arrow keys aren't correct.

Catching up on posts, it seems there's something called MacLayers.  What is
it?  PD?  Is it better than uw?  Does it let you capture text from a window?
Under Multifinder?  Is it fast?

Are there other alternatives I should be aware of in my quest to be able to
compile in one window, edit in another, and read news in a third?

Thanks for any advice!
