I hear you like dialogs and property sheets, so here goes. This is the TEdit rich text editor of Medley Interlisp with an open document and the free menus (i.e. dialogs) for controlling text attributes, paragraph formatting, page layout, index and TOC.

@symbolics Who needs color when we have 1-bit graphics?

@amoroso I've used b&w 1 bit a lot with the Atari ST 1040, the Mac SE/30, the Symbolics 3640. Back in the days when large bitmap screens were still expensive...

@amoroso actually IIRC the first running machine I've seen&used with a large (!) b/w bitmap screen + mouse was a Symbolics 3600 Lisp Machine. 1 bit B&W in all its glory...

@symbolics That was a good way to begin, I'd say.

Though I recall it being more like black & blue (or maybe black & cyan). Those old Symbolics monitors had really *cold* colors!

I had some slides taken of an expert system demo in the 80s, and they came out *blue*.

@weekend_editor @amoroso cameras may create a blue impression. But, yes, IIRC the screen had a slight blue tint. But not too much.
