What would be nice would be to have a totally object oriented GWE 2.0!
For example in file manager if you could do a disk copy by picking up
the drive A: icon and dropping it on the drive B: icon or something.
Or to be able to do a file copy by pinning the window menu and
dropping the file on a button for a window (like c:\zipfiles or
something).

I'd also like to be able to select 4 or 5 geowrite files and drop them
on the geowrite icon and have them all opened for me.  Presently you
can select 4 or 5 files and select open and all of them will open but
will open 4 or 5 sessions of geowrite as well.  It'd be nice to be
able to open those files all under only one session of geowrite.

I'd like to see some more options to save configurations and settings.
Unless you chose from the express menu to exit to dos you have to make
all your selections each time you run geos. ie viewing files by name
and details or confirm delete or something.

rather than having only a view sort, how about a actual disk level
sort ?  Something like Norton's Directory sort.  It'd also be nice to
be able to select a default size for the directory windows.  The
current default is two small.  A tile option is definitely needed.

More wants later.
