Yeah, but that's kind of tedious.... I think the idea is to spawn
seperate shells and have each shell output to its own window.... THAT
would be useful!
I might want to give this one a shot... but I've never taken a crack at
a windows app and I don't have the SDK or Borland C++2.0....  I DO have
C++ 1.0... does borland offer an upgrade to 2.0? (although I know,
that's off the point).... $350 is a bit steep for me right now...

Also, anyone else who has tried to develop a multiple-windows interface
for unix, drop me a line... I'd be interested in hearing ideas...
