Should these go on paper to West Chester, or is Usenet/BIX sufficient?
Since we're talking about enhancement suggestions, here's two for ENDCLI.

A small hack to ENDCLI that looks at the CLI list.  If WB is not loaded
and I am the last CLI, I won't go away, stranding the poor user with
a useless machine.  Never mind hotkeys.  For people who know what they're
doing, an option that says "I know what I'm doing" like ENDCLI LAST.

Also to ENDCLI (amazing how a small program can get enhanced): if other
people are hanging onto my window for input or output, I won't go away.
It ALMOST does this now - it hangs the window, which does nobody any
good, since the window isn't closed.  Might as well leave the CLI
around for input until all processes using it are dead.  Again, provide
an option for people who know what they are doing, like ENDCLI HANG.
