I just bought a workbench 1.3 upgrade. I'm skipping the 1.3 ROM for now since I feel that two partitions on the hard disk (one old FS and one FFS) is more hassle than booting off on the DF0: drive. Also, the first partition will be wasted when V1.4 comes out (whenever). Regardless, V1.3 looks really great. I like Fast Fonts and the printer drivers. I have a few questions: 1. Why does the workbench screen say "Workbench Release." without any number (1.3)? Is this related to the fact that I'm still using 1.2 ROMs? 2. Is there something wrong with MEmacs V1.3? I can't seem to get the Marked region to copy. The Mark seems to set, but the Dot doesn't. Did something Change between 1.2 and 1.3? 3. The addition of a command history and resident commands in SHELL are great, but CONMAN still has something I like alot that I can't find in shell. I like the F1/F2 expand)contract shell window functions. Does anyone know if this exists or might be added in the future to SHELL?
