I'd like to know a little more about what I gain/lose before I make a (permanent?) change. How similar is MGR to X? What can MGR do? Can I copy text from window-to- window? Can I pop windows open "at will"? Can I change the geometry of a window so that a window that is only 6" x 6" still has 24 rows x 80 columns? Are there fonts to support this sort of thing? Is installing the vidpal irreversible? I've heard a lot of positive comments over the past few months but only things like "you'll like it", "I like it", "It's a nice environment". I'd like to know some more detail, especially from those of you who are familiar with X. Thanks -- Rex Fowler UUCP: egsner!texrex!rmfowler
