I haven't been reading this group, but I have to jump into this thread.

I was whining about the dearth of UN*Xy tools for my Mac a couple of
months ago, and decided to implement a piping, shell-like environment.
After staring at the problem a while, I realized what I really wanted
was something that combined the better qualites of GUIs and shells.
I ended up with sketches for a system that sounds vaguely like what
you're describing. 

It'll take a couple of weeks (It's a not part of my job) to pull my
design notes into something for anybody's eyes but mine, but I'd love
to get some feedback on this project before I start implementing the
interface. Anybody interested?

Please post, or email to me at the address listed below. The node I am
posting this from won't forward my mail.
