Roger,
Ahhh....yes! That was it. I really enjoyed using that tool almost as
much as I enjoyed all the Amigas I owned. I don't mean to take this in
another direction, but that OS was truly ahead of its time. I remember
switching to the Mac after I felt like I was the last one to still use
the system. The Mac seemed so inefficient next to my true
multitasking, OS fits on a diskette, Amiga computer.
The good old days. :)
