I have some questions regarding GNO and SIT.  I think this should be included
in the FAQ.

What kind of applications can gno multi-task?  And what kind of applications
can SIT multi-task.

I would also like to some _minimum_ support for P8 with GNO.  I think many of
us can agree that PT3 is simply the best telecom program available for the GS
right now ( overall ).  I would like to be able to run it when I get GNO.

Since GNO can terminate and resume processes, I see no problem of terminating
processes, run P8 stuff, return to the shell, and then resume the processes.  
If would be even nicer if Greg would make PT3 more gs/os aware...  lowercase
support, better yet, FST support.  Break the 63.5k editor limit.

I heard that SIT includes stack swapping; so direct page don't really run out.
How does GNO handle the limited bank 0 space?  Will stack swapping be included
in v1.1?  Does GNO context switch prefixes too?

Thanks.
