[Coco] CoCo GUI

[Allen Huffman]

Okay, in order to keep 100% compatibility, and since OS-9 has no 
(released) provision for moveable, resizable windows, and since we 
probably don't want to do an entire new window driver ... (do we?) ...

The CoCo GUI could basically be a program launcher -- Windows Explorer, 
Mac OS Finder, etc -- with the ability to browse files, do standard 
desktop things like copy/move/cut/paste.  Drag and drop to a printer 
icon to print.  Pull down menus, windows, etc.  Apps could be written 
to live inside of this environment, but clicking on other types of apps 
could transparently launch them -- in their own screen (CLEAR to flip 
to that screen, for example).

Now, some things could be made to run on this GUI if we actually built 
it to use OS-9 L2 Windowing, just like MultiVue.

So I guess --- what's the thought?  Ground up replacement, running old 
programs on their own old style windows?  Or MultiVue replacement, 
using the Tandy Windowing environment with a new GUI on that?
