Rollback allows you to scroll up through old CLI input and output and cut and
paste it into editors and such.

I'm not absolutely sure, but I THINK it lets you type commands in a window
and then shoot them over into CLI -- I think it works with rollback.

Lets you open Multiple WorkBenches.  In other words, you can have more than
one Workbench screen with various applications open on each...

Runback allows you to run a program as a process independant of the CLI that
started it.  You may notice that if you RUN a program from a CLI window, then
ENDCLI that window, the window will hang around until you kill the dependant
process.  Runback lets you close down that CLI.
