Given a memory upgrade to 1 or 2 meg, one way you could get part way to your wish of easy context switching is to load the several programs you want to access conveniently on a RAMdisk. Then loading one or the other is no big deal. Not quite as convenient as hopping back and forth between windows, but MUCH better than loading from floppy. I have been doing this on my 800XL for the last year or so and it's not a bad start, anyway. Sorry, I can't comment on details of how this would work on a 520 but perhaps someone else on the net can do so. -John Sangster / jhs@mitre-bedford.arpa -future owner of soon-thereafter-to-be-outdated Atari 16-bit system (or 32?)
