In addition to what Thol tells you, if you use a flicker fixer with something like an NEC 3D, you can set yourself up such a large screen area that you can have your two tasks running in the top half of two diferent screens, and simply pull one screen down so you can see the other on the same monitor. Naturally, if you use applications which use the workbench, you can have them run in windows on the same screen, which has to be in the same resolution, etc., while having two different screens permits you to have two completely different resolution/bit-plane screens showing (part of each) simultaneously. ALso, I have seen programs which changed resolution in an area of the SAME screen, but I don't know how that was done. Mainly a demo device to show how flexible the Amiga graphics abilities are, I think. ?|^] Ray Lewis
