Re: Group job question..

Carel,

I understand that one job is active, the others suspended. The question was
more in regard to having 15 suspended and 1 active job vs. 16 active jobs.
If only one PC window has focus, then the other 15 are not necessarily in
use by the user. I think Vernon answered most of my questions in his reply.

As for the number of windows, 16 was just a maximum limit for reference. I
do think many windows becoming "screen clutter" may be a personal
preference. Isn't the point of the operating system being named "windows"
because you CAN use multiple windows at the same time? I find most green
screen users/developers tend to maximize their emulator window (out of
habit) and task-switch inside that emulator (group jobs, secondary job,
etc..) instead of using the power of having many windows open for the
separate tasks they are performing. It seems to me that being able to access
extra tasks without interrupting the current open tasks would mean efficient
task management?
