Yes.. that is what your description began to sound like.  Launching
Shotgun required switching operating modes of the monitor.  Ever time it
did that, I panicked a little.  :/

When I visited a Shotgun bbs, it felt like I was looking at the future.
(This was shortly before the WWW software arrived.)

I remember thinking that Compuserve should adopt a shotgun-like (mouse-
driven) interface. The text method of navigating on Compuserve was prone
to errors.  And, since every minute counted, it could get frustrating.
