I agree.  After using SunView dbxtool for ~ 4 years, it took awhile and was
quite aggravating to have to click in the command window everytime I wanted
to type in a command.  On the other hand, I really like being able to switch
into edit mode, edit the program, click on 'make', click on 'run', and go.
It sure is nice to do EVERYTHING from within dbxtool.  Oh well, we've been
promised OW 3.0 Real Soon Now, so we'll have to wait and see what surprises
Sun has in store for us This Time :).
