The issues that I was addressing were
neither those of monolithicity of user community nor programming
language.  The kind of thing I meant is uniform screen management,
window treatment and so forth all over the operating system.  If you
click the mouse on a window, EDITOR or OTHERWISE, a certain
uniform thing happens.  The editor can share the screen with
other programs.  Its window can be reshaped or moved like other
programs' windows.

The relevant issue in the Lisp machine's approach here is global
screen management and an editor inferior to that, which is certainly
relevant to integrated and timely design in any operating system.
