Bill,

I think I'm "The Other Aaron."  Or known as Manny/Mannequin, which is why I
sign as '-M.' at the bottom of my emails.  I wish I could have been that
big of a help to you, but I'm thinking you're speaking about Aaron Wolfe?

Having said that, I'm 100% behind your MShell project.  I want it to
succeed because of the huge (IMHO) gap we have with good GUIs and file
managers in the OS-9/NitrOS-9 arena.  This is why I've paid attention when
you have an update.  :)

I'd offer to help, but I'm a language whore and find it difficult to settle
on one programming language (doesn't matter the platform.)  Therefore, I
can't say that I have enough experience to create (or help with) many/any
projects such as this.  It's also quite hard to test projects like this
because I lack any CoCo hardware, as it's 4000 miles away.  (The wife would
go crazy if I did have access to it, anyway. ;) )

But, please persevere.  Don't give up on this project after sinking a year
in to this.

-M.
