>SYMETRIC MULTIPROCESSING

I noticed this one is getting a lot of support.  May I ask why?  How many people
are really going to benefit from this?  In my opinion, this should wait until 
everything else is done...

>
>GLOBAL CHANGE OPTION FOR THE WPS

Definitely.

>INI EDITOR

Definitely.

>NEW FILE SYSTEM

Just add links and permissions to the current one and we're OK.

>INSTALLABLE FILE SYSTEMS FOR REMOVABLE DEVICES

Yes.

>MOVEMENT OF SHADOWS IN TO THE FILE SYSTEM

Should go hand in hand with symbolic links.

>MOVEMENT OF INFORMATION FROM THE OS2.INI TO THE FILE SYSTEM

Good idea.

>COLOURFUL ICONS

Big yes.  Get some graphic artists to draw up some real nice looking icons. 
OS/2 default look is pretty humble...

>MOUNTING DRIVES INSTEAD OF HAVING DRIVE LETTERS

Agree.  Good idea.  Make it part of HPFS.

>SUPPORT WILDCARD EXPANSION IN THE SHELL
>COMMAND ALIASES IN CMD.EXE
>TABLE OF EXECUTED COMMANDS
>ADD SEPARATORS FOR NUMBERS RETURNED BY CHKDSK

I think IBM should license 4os2 from JP Software and ship that as the default 
shell  That would have evrything we need :-).  In addition, they should get 4dos
as well.

>LIST/KILL PROCESS COMMANDS

Definitely.

>JUMP-SCROLLING FOR SHELL WINDOWS

Yes.  Windows 3.1 does it - why can't OS/2?

>RESIZABLE SHELL WINDOWS
>RESIZABLE FONT FOR SHELL WINDOWS
>SCROLL-BACK BUFFER FOR OS/2 WINDOWS
>DEFAULTS NOTEBOOK FOR SHELLS
>RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON ACTION FOR PROGRAMS THAT DON'T USE IT

Why not make a PM version of xterm.  You're all set.  Add 4os2 to the xterm and
it'll be like a dream come true.  Or, better yet, port tcsh as well, and give us
a choice of 4os2 or tcsh as our shell.

ADDITIONS OF MY OWN:

- Allow SVGA DOS programs (and WinOS/2 when in SVGA) to continue to run when 
placed in the background.  Currently, resolutions higher than VGA do not.  Am I 
doing something wrong?

- Change the bootsector program on formatted floppy disks.  Add an option to
retry the boot like MSDOS has been doing for ages.

- Make it _easier_ to change video drivers!  I don't mind rebooting, but I 
detest reinstalling when the reboot results in a blank screen :-(.

- Add 'small fonts' as an option to all video drivers (WPS and WinOS/2)

- Sub-sub menus on all objects (someone else mentioned this and I support it)

- More sound card drivers (Gravis Ultrasound...)
