I would like to have in the next release of os/2: 

- ps, kill, jobcontrol as in *IX, especially CTRL-Z
  If a job is finished I'd like something like 'done compress.. '

- within command not only history but also filename completion
  as in tcsh
  There is a utility called dosed for dos that does it. So I often
  use the dos box only for its sake.

- I like the textmode of a vga card better than the 60Hz flicker of the
  graphic modes.
  So I'd like to have the tools that work only within WPS also in textmodes,
  at least tasklist, help, shutdown,...
  Also I fear that the monitor doesn't like the continual mode switching?
