There is a pd program called screen posted to c.s.u a couple of years ago
that creates layers that you can flip through.  It's very handy when your
news server is really slow:  I sometimes go of and do little administrative
tasks when it gets too slow.  Is this program like layers, and is it portable
to a pc with UN*X?  OK so you have to do a little fiddling when screen mis-
behaves, but on the whole its a great program.
