With all these new Expander compatible shells coming out, it is not all that
farfetched at all. And those who wish to use the mouse compatible shell,
would either have to borrow someone elses Expader, or buy one of their own.
Now also, by using the expander for shell protocol, why not just use the
Expander's memory storage for all the icons to be used and programs to be
run from. That way, even if the shell had to be stored in the majority of
the calcs, memory, Again it could use the Expanders memory for the file
storage, and recognition. I hope this is not too confusing. Please tell me
if you could understand it all. Thanks, and please also tell me what you
think about this idea.
Sincerely,
Kevin
