   I suppose it does but over the many years I used CrossPoint in SysOp Mode,     
   I never perceived it as being "scaled down" and I certainly never thought     
   of it as being just a reader/editor.

   Yeah, that would be very nice and something which I often thought about in     
   the past but methinks that's not going to happen.
