Wrong - unless you are using a windowing environment, and there are still
plenty of glass tube unices out there. And even then, few windowing
environments I've worked in can match the one or two keystroke responsive
- ness of a good TSR. (Granted, what you're talking about *does* apply to
the filter and os extension types of TSRs.)

P.S. - Since we don't get the alt. groups here, I don't know if that
(alt.religion.computers) is a real group, or just your idea of a joke,
but thanx - my mailer choked on it the first time around.
