I have seen many suggestions about what 1.4 should have, but here are a
few I don't remember seeing:

   1)  Multitask the Workbench!  Why couldn't the Workbench launch a separate
       process to display a disk or directory's contents?  Sometimes I open a
       directory and decide I don't want to see it, but I am forced to wait
       for all of the .info files to load and be displayed as icons before
       I am allowed to close the window...I want to open it/close it anytime.
       I never wanna see that ZZ cloud again.  Note:  I am not sure how this
       would work for launching programs, but for directories and such, it
       shouldn't be hard -- right?

   2)  Is there a bug with the abort of ICONX?  Ctrl-C does not exit an
       ICONX program...isn't it supposed to?

   3)  Implement something like HandiIcons to allow programs and CLI-scripts
       (with the script bit set) to be run from a menu on Workbench.  The
       user could customize an added menu to have the names of his
       favorite 20 (40? with interlace) programs selectable without the
       bother of rooting through all of those directory windows.

Well, there are some ideas...will any of them show up in 1.4?
