[Coco] I recall back in the day having an application that allowed to program in a windows like GUI in BASIC for the CoCo! Does anyone else remember it and what was it's name?

Must be Window Master. I have a demo of it on video from the 1988 Chicago
Rainbowfest. Maybe I can get it up on the "tube"...

I think it was Window Master but I wish I was certain and I'm not, what I am
certain is that whatever it's title was it allowed to program in Disk Basic
a Windows like GUI complete with event trapping just as one would do with a
current VB program.
Are any of this programs available for download somewhere as Disk images?
