  This is THEE best screen hack I've seen in years. I'm sorry I didn't
think of it. How was it done? Dual Playfield mode I suspect.
I was thinking of a dualpf hack for a terminal. Normally terminal
programs can't keep up with 9600 baud smooth scrolling. The choice is
either toss out intuition/menus and do everything yourself on a
custom screen, or use dualpf.  I wonder if dualpf mode is available
on the productivity mode screens(and 2024) Perhaps 1280x400 2 colors in
DUALPF?

 Now someone has to patch intuition's gadgets to look like NeXTSTEP
and unsuspecting users will think they are running a NeXT emulator.
