Has anyone out there had experience with the See-Shell shell for use with the 5620 DMD? I have read references to it in various documents but have not been able to find out any specifics. Anyone with any info on it (availability, environment, is it worth my time to try and track it down), if you could mail me something I would appreciate it.

A number of people were interested in knowing what I found out about the See-Shell for use on the DMD 5620 terminal. Apparently this was proposed by an engineer at Bell Labs (I have forgotten the name, sorry) back in the early 80's. He wrote up the proposal in memo form and that memo was referenced in various other documents. Unfortunately, his ideas never came to fruition, the propasal never went anywhere... That is too bad as judging by the response my simple posting got, it would be a best seller among DMD owners.

It is a form entry interface to shell commands that will display menus of options and explanations on request. You can scroll back through the shell input and output and re-execute commands (note that emacsterm and viterm provide this for the DMD).
