[Coco] Bug in DW4Man

[Nick Marentes]

DW4Man certainly seems to be a useful utility.

I don't know much about OS-9 so I haven't been able to see the program 
running yet.

The famous "great wall" of OS-9  barrier for novices I guess.

And this raises an intreresting suggestion.

What OS-9 needs is a program like your DW4Man to startup as an alternate 
shell to OS-9.

The aim would be to allow novices in to OS-9 with an easy to use 
interface. Not a GUI but something that presents itself with the basic 
options used at the command line. Sort of a menu driven interface.

An option to drop down to the OS-9 command prompt should be available.

This would make the OS-9 experience a lot more friendly to a first timer.


Oh, one suggestion to improve DW4Man:

Is there any way to make it look less "texty"? It looks so... 70's 
teletype. Surely there are at least graphic text characters with lines 
that can be used to create nicer screens like the early IBM text screens 
had in the early 80's.

Don't take this negatively.

You've created the engine, all it needs is better paneling and a slick 
paint job.  :)
