|Go with MGR!  Against my will, I am still loading the window driver
|at bootup.  As long as the window driver gets loaded, TAM stuff
|can work as always.

I second the motion!  Like David, I still load wind.o so I can suspend
MGR and use tam stuff.  Simple tam applications can actually run
inside MGR windows, but they don't look as slick.

Someone else asked how easy it was to set up for new users: trivial,
unlike some bloated monstrosity of a window system we'll just call X.

It comes with a small suite of useful tools, and it is very easy to
make existing applications ``menu driven'' _without_them_knowing_it_!
