That was the idea! :)

I could see a lot of benefit from WPS on X -- and they could call it NWPS
for NetWorkPlace Shell!!!

Suppose: I make an object for a remote application on another OS/2 box or
UNIX system -- double-click -- the app runs on the remote system, uses X
to do the network graphics. Sweet.

I'd just prefer an ASIQ!!! Then if WPS hangs, we could still fix things
without taking down the GUI. I mean, COME ON! If NT can do it, OS/2 should
be able to do it twice as well!

On my AMD486DX4/120 32 MB Diamond Stealth 64 (S3 Trio64+ as well!) PM 
cranks along at a nice pace. My problem with PM is really the SIQ, but
I'd like the remote GUI ability as well.

And DPS wouldn't hurt either! :)
