There's currently only a couple of programs that run with GEOS in
memory, and they come on the GEOS disk (a text editor, a doodle
program, maybe something else).
I believe GEOS has provisions for booting ordinary programs, but once
you do, GEOS is gone.
A neat toy to play with for a few hours, but if you're doing serious
software development or using a commercial terminal emulator, it's not
going to make life any easier for you. In other words, it fails the
"What do I get out of this?" test for all but a few beginners who have
trouble remember to press the return key after every line.
