Such a program has been around for several years now - ConMan1.3.  ConMan will 
shrink the window with one of the F(1-3) keys and expand them back with another 
F(1-3) key.  This is just one small example of the versatility of ConMan.  
There are many other uses and applications with it, but I'm not that terribly 
well versed with it.  I only recently installed it on my WB with AShell. 

BTW - ConMan is what prompted C= to put a zoom button on 2.0, I believe.  2.0 
also swallowed all the ARP commands whole, as well, improving on the old 
BCPL's by rewriting the commands in assembly.  I'm an A1000 user myself, so I 
can't use 2.0 ... yet!
