Hurray!  Bravo!  2^32 cheers!

This is by far the most useful program that has been posted to the net to date.
Congratulations to John Bruner for a job well done.  

I do have a few of suggested enhancements:
    -  include an Edit menu (for DAs) and support copy and paste (ala MacT)
    -  horizontal scroll bars so that tall skinny windows can be used more
	effectively
    -  save couple of screenfuls of 'lines off the top' and provide vertical
	scroll bars
    -  window 'zoom':  double click on the title bar of a small window
	increases it to full size; double click on a full size window restores
	it to its original size.
    -  a way to change a window's title
    -  when a window is resized, change the termcap of the associated unix
	session so that editors like vi don't get confused.
    -  interpret ^S and ^Q locally (as it is they work too slowly to be useful)
    -  implement some sort of priority scheme so that long outputs in one
	window do not slow down echoing in another (this would be essential
	if a download was going on in one window and editing in another).

I have been using uw successfully for several days now.  I have had only one
real problem:  sometimes when I start up a new window, there is no prompt.
Killing the window doesn't help: when it is created again there is still no
prompt.  Even quiting the whole program (shutdown; logout; quit) sometimes
doesn't help.  [We run 4.2BSD on a 780].

Again, thanks for a great tool.  New versions are eagerly awaited!
