I guess without source it's pretty tough, but it seems that there must
only be a couple bytes somewhere that have to be changed to accomplish this.
I (and probably others) just want the ability to use the same ugly windows
ANYWHERE on the screen, without a useless no-mans-land at the bottom! I guess
I need to learn how to do some serious hacking with adb...

I wrote a little package called "wlogin" a couple years ago which just gives
you simple, overlapping 24x80 text windows in a tiny font. It doesn't need
wmgr, smgr, ua or anything and compiles to only a couple KB. If anyone is
interested, I can (re)post it. MGR sounds neat, but I'm reluctant to hack at
my hardware and I would be happy with what I've got if I could just get at
those bottom 4 lines!
If I want icons, menus and all that stuff, I'll use my Mac IIcx :-)
