I posted a description before, but for those of you who missed it:

geoWizard is a GEOS utility which installs itself in your REU and lays
dormant until you invoke it.  You invoke it by pressing both buttons on
your mouse together, or, if you use a joystick, by a keyprss/stick button
combination.  When you do invoke it, it saves the state of the system to
the REU, and then you can do a number of things, including dump a copy of
the screen to the printer, reboot, quit to desktop, load a DA, or load an
application.  If you reboot or quit to the desktop, the application you
are running is lost (of course), but if you do any of the others, when you
exit that, you are returned to your application exactly where you left
off.  So, you could be running geoWrite, then actiavate geoWizard, run
geoPaint; when you exit geoPaint, you will be put right back into
geoWrite, with everything attached.

The geoWizard disk includes a few other goodies, like DA's to dump the
screen to a geoPaint file or Photo Scrap, and a DA which allows you to
scratch/copy/rename files.

geoWizard is not freeware or shareware, and consequently is not available
at milton.  You can get it for $16.50 from:
