- How difficult would it be to have PMPS display the name of the process
- running in the VDM, instead of just saying 'VDM'? Granted, this is an
- improvement over PSPM, but this would be one step better. Also, how about
- adding the 'Switch To' button like in PSPM? This was one feature I always
- used. I found it easier to keep PMPS up on the screen at all times, and
- just using it to switch tasks, rather than calling up the task list.
