- I meant adding multiple menus an arexx port to set these will be

-
- They are not *FONT SENSITIVE* mind you if you dont like a GUI just go back to
- cli or better yet move to a outofdate msdos box.Comuters need gui and the
- more smart looking it will look the better but why do i need to argue about
- this MUI is already endorsed in the surfer pack.

-
- I understand it well enough and executive too.It just that a very simple
- scheduler is needed that will give tranput-bound tasks more responsive

- What if i put in an accelerator?
-

-
- blah? try clipping from multiview.9and i dont mean copying the whole thing
-

-
- Well you should know that from the command line its usage is dubious and
- it crashes on some partition/drive specs (that i know for sure).
