Scrollable text windows built into the operating system. The Mac has it, why not the Amiga? I would also like to see the scroll arrow gadgets accessible rom the keyboard, with, for example, right-amiga-leftarrow & right-amiga-rightarrow. 2. Since FastFonts makes text really fast, why not allow the option of giving the NEWCON: (which will be CON: in 1.4, right?) a simple-refresh window, so that us poor users with limited memory can save about 30K per shell window. This combined with a scrollable text window will give a *really* nice shell for the amiga. Maybe this could be the NEWCON: of 1.4, where the NEWCON: of 1.3 becomes the CON: of 1.4. 3. QMouse built into ROM. I just downloaded this and I think it is great. Since it is only 4K, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to squeeze in there. I guess someone at Commodore could talk to Lyman Epp about this. By the way, are there any FD programs which give the functionality of 1 and 2 above? (I haven't downloaded any of the various shell programs, so I don't know about them, but I want to make sure that the full functionality of the 1.3 NEWCON: is retained.) -- -- Dan Howell <...!(pyramid|ucbvax)!ucsbcsl! -- koyaanisqatsi - nessus!ivucsb!dan> n. 1. crazy life 2. life without order 3. life out of balance 4. a way of life that calls for another way of living - syn. see 'graduate school'
