Oy! I could have written exactly that. What a coincidence :-) I also wouldn't claim invention. Maybe I heard of it, but I'd say the idea is pretty obvious.
We made it possible for Flex to run to programs simultaneously and also do print spooling.
(That's when I bought an HP 16C. Great help. Still have it.)
