No! Please don't make it a desk accesory..... remember there are only six
slots and most people have a hard enough time keeping down to six accs anyhow.
Anyway, an accesory implies an interface which implies using more memory than
needs be for it's main task..... Again, a seperate proggy for configuring???
>From what I can gather the actual manager itself would be quite a small
program - please don't waste valuable memory by sticking a fancy front-end
on it...... Maybe a TSR would be more suitable (don't know if it's possible).
Remember: Out of sight, out of mind... This thing should blend seamlessley into
GEM and the desktop - as if it weren't there......
