	There has been a lot of talk about multitasking the ST, but no one has
asked about multitasking on the TT?? My main use of mutlitasking would be in regards
to programming.

	I use an Apollo DN4000 (with 19" monochrome monitor) at work. I can have
XX number of windows open simultaneously. I keep various windows open showing
different parts of my code. Very handy to sawp peices of code around.

	Now, my question is about using the Moniterm 19" monitor on both the
ST and the TT. I am considering buying the Moniterm 19" monitor for my Mega ST4,
but of course I wouldn't be able to have multiple files opens on the screen,
so it still wouldn't be as nice as my Apollo at work.

	But, one, could I use the same Moniterm monitor if I bought the TT??

	Two, would the TT allow me to have multiple windows (TOS, of course)
open, like I can do on my Apollo??

	These are two important concerns to me. I can NOT justify spending the
$2K on the 19" Moniterm monitor just to use it on my Mega ST4. But, if I KNEW
that I could move it over to the TT, then I might just buy the Moniterm and the
TT.

	So, does anyone at Atari *KNOW* if the Moniterm 19" monitor works with 
the TT?? The TT has the 1280x960 (same as my Apollo BTW) mode, same as the ST.

	Does the TT support multitasking or multiple editing windows??

P.S. These are NOT flames, just real concerns from a hopeful programmer.
     (BTW, just how FAST does MWC compile on the TT?? I love the MWC compiler
      aand I hope that it works on the TT!!!).
