	GDOS is the part of GEM that handles interfacing with other devices.
At present, the only "device" that GEM really handles is the screen.  GDOS
allows the use of fonts (we've all been waiting for proportional fonts) on
the ST (check the ad in Newsweek, it shows Atari Write, with different fonts
on it), more than one font at a time.  Also, GDOS is supposed to handle
the translation of screen representations of objects to the format appropriate
to whatever output device you want to use, so that all you have to do, as a
programmer, is write some commands to a metafile, and GDOS uses these and
interprets them to produce the correct output on the desired device.
	Actually, I still haven't seen GDOS, and all this is based on infor-
mation I found in STart and in the Dev Kit.  If I've made any mistakes, please
don't hesitate to correct me.
