To continue the thread of MPW 3.2 wishes, here are a few:

C/C++ Compilers:  up the limit of the number of directories allowed in the
#include search list.  15 isn't enough when you are working on a project with
lots of libraries and #includes in different directories.  How abou 100?

Standard I/O:  have MPW shell act a lot more like a Unix shell by letting tools
do character at a time i/o.  This would make interactive tools a lot easier
to write.  Once in a while this is what you want.

Linker:  Stupid link mode, where you WOULDN'T strip code that isn't used to
speed up the links.

Overall, I like the environment, but these additions/modifications would make
my life easier.
