First, what else do you know about The Manager? Please tell me! Thanks!

It seems that it is the same as Switch It - Jawaid also tell me that if
applications is "Switch It compatible", it can be multitask. I think the
current release of Switch It does not support multitasking, but it the 
future, it will.

The Manager has an advantage that it is released by Seven Hills, that means     
Seven Hill might support multitasking in their own products. GraphicWriter III
is a good example.

Of course, if "Switch It compatible" is identical to "The Manager compatible",
it means that Switch It customers might be able to multitask Seven Hills
products too. 

The Manager is bad news for us Procyon customers. GNO - the multitasking 
environment is text based, I don't supposed it will work properly with The
Manager. I now faced a difficult choice between Switch It and The Manager.

: On the other hand, I guarantee you that GraphicWriter III will eventually
: multitask. :)

What else? Please tell me more about The Manager, if it is possible, please
upload the transcripts, or send it to me.
