Well, here are some things I'd like to see.  In case some IBM'er is
logging all these... :-)

1) I would actually like to be able to have Presentation Manager more
distinct from the rest of OS/2.  Right now I run that nifty ShiftRun
program to laod OS/2 with PM.  However, I'd like to 'shutdown' PM
WITHOUT shutting down *all* of OS/2.  Maybe, just shutdown to a
fullscreen CMD.EXE.  And optionally type 'pm' or something to load it
back up.  This way: you can change video resolutions without rebooting
OS/2 (at least wholly).  Also, if you just want to quickly check email
or something, you can use a text-mode comm program or whatever for
*quick* work without having to wait for PM, then WPS to come up.

On the RS/6000s at our school, you login in text mode, but type 'xinit'
to load XWindows.  You hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill X.

2) I would like some configurability or the scrollbars.  Change the
looks, or placements.  Also, optionally put the 'up/down', 'left/right'
buttons *togather*, say, in the bottom right corner of the scrool bar.
This way, you can click to move the scroll bar in opposite directions
without moving the mouse as far.  Yes, the Amiga now has this, but so
what, some might want it.

3) Include a nice text-mode editor.  How hard could it be to make a
text-mode clone of DOS's EDIT.EXE?  It's a nice quick easy text mode
editor. 

4) Of course, include a process lister/killer, command line file finder
(see there 'whereis' program), aliases and file completion for CMD.EXE.
Hey, I just like using a command line.  It's quick.  

5) For three-button mice, would it be possible to have a selection of
what the middle button can be set to?  Or have it 'record' a 'macro' of
actions to later perform?
