Selector does have this capability (it's just in an older-than-the-hills DOS setting). In fact, Selector has so much ability many programmers never get to it all (along with the limitations, of course).
Does anybody really agree that RCS is a little goofy? They get us all set for the Windows version of Selector back in '95 (when all the hoopla over windows 95's release was going on), then the subsequent Win versions of RCS have been full of bugs, etc. Their last BETA of Selector/Win I tested was a couple of years ago and it sucked--very slow and difficult to navigate. The last BETA of MusicGen I was asked to test not only didn't convert the Selector files correctly, it also did a lot of wierd things to Prophet.
And worst part of it all is that many of us have gone another 10 years using the old-time RCS and the longer we are attached to it the more difficult it is to be weaned away from it. They're goofy and cagey at the same time.
