I think you're missing the point. Jeff is asking about a more sophisticated
window, not a shell. I've been thinking about this also, after being spoiled
with Sun and Next workstations. Couldn't you write a PM app that was a
smarter implemtation of a shell window (scroll back, cut and paste, better
fonts) and then just run a CLI in it? There is the problem of Keyboard and
Mouse focus between the PM window and any Vio app that may be running in it.
Another nice idea would be a resize feature that automatically updates
row & column data. Perhaps IBM is listening? ;-)
