- Now you must be joking...you have just suggested that you know how
- the screens work. Why the hell are you still playing dumb? I can move my
- screens horizontally, however I cannot do what you describe above because
- the Amiga does not support that, and I don't think it will for the moment.
- Read the RKMs, however, and you'll see that they made room for it via
- software. But, my statement is still true; I can move any screen horizontally
- provided that its horizontal resolution is less than that of the next
- screen.

- CRAPBOARD more like it! Do you know what ARexx is, or what a message
- port is? I just have to press both mouse buttons, and a small window will
- open up listing all my curren screens. Then when I hit SAVE it saves the
- screen as a picture to ram. Does the Clipboard do this? Does the Clipboard
- support audio? Can the Clipboard tell AdPro to convert 130 GIF files to
- a 1300 IFF8 anim? Can the Clipboard tell Edplayer to play all the files
- in data: in random order? Can the Clipboard tell the Workbench to close
- when DPaint wants more memory?

- Thanks Gwen. Like I said, I had faith in #3. At least it answers the phone now.
