Showing my ignorance about GNO, but, isn't it a shell from which 8 bit programs
could also be run just as with the finder? If that is so, doesn't it follow
that if an interrupt sensitive program has a conflict when run from the finder
(with Twighlight II) wouldn't it have a similar conflict when run from GNO?
If I have missed the point totally regarding what gno is, then ignore this
question.
