Well my first impressions of the emulator are that I 
really need to read the docs. before I go any further. 
 I've had problems with the CoCo-3 128 not letting me end 
the session with by hitting the Windows key like the 
earlier version lets me do.

Also, I have a major concer of the fact that the version 
of WinAmp that ships with it is 2.06(?)  Recently there 
was a security notice about WinAmp regarding an exploit 
via the skins.  If you don't have WinAmp 5.05 running, you 
better update.  Does anyone know if it is possible to 
change the script that calls up WinAmp so the newer 
version can be called up?
