- There is no tool in WB2.05 to control public screen. The only one way
- you can open a shell window on an other screen is to get 'PSX' or
- 'PublicS', which allow you to open screen, set a default screen...
- Both have an Intuition interface and I don't think you can control
- them via ARexx Port. The 'PublicS' package contains some shell
- commands to open and set default Public Screen, but them seems to be
- wrong (they cause Gurus !). Mind you, I may have an old version. I
- advise you PSX (it seems to be better).

- Marc.

- My ScreenSelect V1.2 available from amiga.physik... or one of its mirrors
- lets you bind a hotkey so that you can force active screen to become a default
- public screen in one push of a button.
