I'd like to control the flow of information between documents using publish
and subscribe, simulating pipes of UN*X.

I would like a nice interface for scheduling processes, setting the times, 
dates, privilages etc. It should  allow me to automate setting of 
filesystem privilages.

It should 'plug' into IAC and the CTB and look like HyperTalk. I want to
initiate AppleTalk AFP and CTB terminal sessions. 

It should talk to QuickTime, allowing queries about current performance
and feedback on the real-time state of any current "multimedia" :-)

It should be able to set time slices for specific processes, allowing
more CPU on certain tasks at certain times.

It should allow me to 'run' and kill Extensions.

It should talk to QuickKeys and Voice Navigator should talk to it.
