I sure looks like it might be neat, but I can't tell for the life of me
how one goes about setting it up or using it day to day.  I would dearly
appreciate people posting their .3b1tool files so other might see what
is possible.  A new man page would also help.

How does one normally interact with this thing?  I know with ua and my
old "close" program the paradigm was rather simple:

	1.  Run a new shell with a ua command.
	2.  close it when necessary.
	3.  click on it to bring it back.

This is also similar to the way I use Sunview at work, creating a window
out of a menu, and iconifying when the clutter gets too bad.

What sort of line should one put in an Office file to get an 3b1tools
window that can be inconified with ^Z?  

Can it be convinced to be a login shell for .profile handling?

Can we do any cut and past between windows?  (wish list item).
