- 102 lines is not enough. What we want is a command window where lines that are
- scrolled off of the top are saved in a buffer. The size of the buffer should
- be configurable and be able to be redirected to a file. Since I've seen and
- operated DeskView/X, I'm sold. If it would only run on top of a multitasking
- kernel. Maybe Quarterdeck would consider porting it to OS/2 as a replacement
- for the Worthless Shell.
