yoyo
A display hack of sorts. WARNING: yoyo displays the fact that some
limit checking is not done when dragging screens, when this manifests
the results can lead directly, or indirectly, to the GURU.

Discussion:
Yoyo was an idle evening's attempt at a quicky display hack, as
such it is not a great thing, in fact it is kind of sickening,
sort of like programming on board a ship in a force 9 gale...
However, yoyo does demonstrate that it REALLY is possible to drag a
window beyond the boundaries of a screen! But the consequences of this
action (which can never (:-) happen) are trashed screens, windows, and
eventually a visit from the GURU.
How to drag a window beyond a screen:
Just put up a cli window that is about a half screen high, run yoyo
and get seasick, then grab the CLI window's dragbar and pull up
while the screen is going down. If you release the window when you
have the mouse pointer ABOVE the top of the screen this will corrupt
all sorts of things. If the system does not GURU immediatly (it usually
does not) you can play a bit with the currupt window to see what sort
or odd things happened...
