-
- VSM is a commodity that allows switching to other portions of a virtual
- screen by pressing a hot key combination rather than scrolling there.
-
- VSM steps through the virtual screens one at a time, vertically or
- horizontally, from top left to bottom right.
-
- This is useful if you have installed a graphic card in your Amiga and
- do not like the annoying delay that occurs when you switch between
- native Workbench and application's custom screens.
-
- A virtual screen may be any size up to the maximum allowed for that
- screentype and the graphics RAM in your system. You are only able to
- view the visible size at any given time.
-
- You may find it helpful to define a virtual screen size exactly an
- integer multiple of your visible screen size. For example:
-
- NTSC:High Res Laced Visible Size: 660 x 414
- Maximum Size: 16368 x 16384
-
- Set your Screen Size to 1320 x 828. This gives you four separate views
- of the virtual screen (see the figure below), and will prevent portions
- of the virtual screen from being visible in multiple views.
