 I would like to see the TT support multitasking, multi-windowing with the
following applications:

1) A good CASE tools, to allow for full flowcharting and data flow diagramming
   in one window

2) C compiler/editor in another window

3) C source code level debugger in another window

4) A Shell in another window (to look at directories, or anything else).

This would allow me to write C programs, make flow charts for same alot 
easier then anything I can currently do on my Mega ST4.


Right now, I can buy the CASE tools for a Mac IIX, but even the Mac IIX does
support REAL multi-tasking multi-windowing. 

But, sun Workstations and Apollow Workstations support multi-windowing.
They are a little out of my price range though.

If the TT could come out with the multi-tasking multi-windowing OS it would
be a start. But, there start aren't any professional CASE tools out for the
ST (or by extension the TT) yet.

So, thats what I would like to see in a TT !!
P.S. Oh yes, I need another window to play Flight Simulator in when I get
bored coding!!!!
