What I meant, though, is that if an *operating system* itself combined both
CLI/GUI elements, it might get a little too complicated and create
compatibility issues for third party software developers. What you've done
with add-on programs yourself, of course, isn't altering DOS itself -- and
*that*, I believe, is a more practical, flexible arrangement.

Yes, I understood that from your previous remarks.

I haven't heard of "FAR". Have you tried "NewDeal"? Sounds similar to FAR,
except that it isn't a clone of Win95, and it's supposed to run well on even
a 286...
