To keep track of all the windows you can have open with 512K, I'd like someone to write a couple of utility commands: WINDIR (WINdow DIRectory) Lists the currently defined windows, whether they are active (shell) or just passive, whether or not they are CLEAR-key accessible at moment, text/graphic, 40/80 cols, and how much memory they're using. Options could select how much of that is shown. WHIND (WHich WINDow is this?) Typing this merely echoes the device-name of your window or screen, such as /w4 or /term. Nice to know which window is what after a while. Until we get such utilities, I guess the serious user should open windows only as needed and trash them when done with each. I guess the 128K owners already work this way. PS: I believe Kevin Darling's "Inside OS9" book has source for a version of PROCs that gives the window for each process. WINDIR would list by window, not process. -- Mike J Knudsen ...ihnp4!ihwpt!knudsen Bell Labs(AT&T) Delphi: RAGTIMER CIS: <memory failure, too many digits> " ~E(x):[is_lunch(x) && cost(x)==0] "
