Or, use icewm. Also light weight but with a 1 or 2 row taskbar (icon
buttons set with a simple text file).
Back in my OS/2 days, I had a button on the desktop that was labled
"Mom's Menu". It ran a REXX file that presented a simple menu for
common applications:
1. WordPerfect
2. Paradox
3. Write new church bulletin
4. Edit this week's church bulletin
5. Church register
=========================================
Enter your choice: _
I had a similar menu for my Dad.
Neither one of them could figure out to click on an icon, even if I put
the same functionality in icons "Mom's Folder" or "Dad's Folder" on the
workspace (whatever OS/2 called the root window).
