Apparently, Google does not remember this windowing system and its
associated programs (Memomaker for text editing, PAM as the file
manager, and so on).
I don't remember any HP-Windows, but I do remember learning UCSD Pascal
around 1985-1986 on HP RISC-based (I think) workstations. I learned to
control plotters over RS-232. I used Memomaker and PAM on HP 110 laptops
(with amazing battery life). The first software I ever sold was my clone
of PAM written in Turbo Pascal to provide a user interface (file manager
and application menu) for generic MS-DOS. I don't think PAM was ever
for HPUX, but maybe.
http://www.hpmuseum.net/ knows about Memomaker.
