Responding to both Doug and Carl: I've seen layers run on the 615 and
the 620, and it is really neat to see. It has been our experience,
however, that the 3B2/400 just doesn't have the processor horsepower
to make it work well. Interactive work in layers on the 615 is so sluggish
that we use a pair of terminals rather than run layers -- it's that bad.
Has anybody had other experiences with this?
