Let's state WHY one would want to do this: because Linux offers a much greater<br>
set of utilities, but ETHO has superior text handling tools, so you want to<br>
have linux's access to the outer-world plus ETHO's ability to handle the<br>
text, both on the same screen.<br>

OK, but does this new-one give reliable simple [minimum steps] switching and how<br>
can it improve the screen-area-utilisation?<br>
<br>
Does it allow one of the ETHO TextFrames to be a Linux-terminal, and allow<br>
copy-paste between that TextFrame and the other ETHO TextFrames?<br>

Me too, I stopped using it.<br>
