> Question 1.  Is the environment multi-window?

Yes.  It has overlapping windows, just like the environment that
came with Turbo C++.  It seems to have a few minor features that
the TC++ environment didn't have, such as the ability to choose
where to save your desktop setup, but overall it is just about the
same.  I especially like the ability to mark a block of text using
shift + the arrow keys.  I have grown tired of Ctrl-K,B and
Ctrl-K,K!

> Question 2. Does TurboVision come with just TP or TP Professional?

I think it comes with both, but I'm not sure.  I was surprised to
see that there is a difference nowadays.  When I bought TP5.0, the
professional version was just normal TP plus the assembler and
debugger.  But with version 6.0 there are two command-line compilers,
TPC which comes with both versions, and TPCX which comes only with
the professional version and can compile large programs in
extended memory.  Of course, the professional version also comes
with TD 2.01, TASM 2.01, and TPROF 1.01.
