In the Whattheheck demo, there is the screen where you can control the 
blue spheres.  On the top of the screen, there are editable fields controling
x-axis speed, y-axis speed, etc.  In the upper right hand corner, there is a 
field called DEMO __.  Guess what!!  You use the arrow keys to get to that 
field, and change it to see the other demos (there are 13, I think).  

Heehee, don't be embarassed.  I had this demo, saw the two you describe, then 
threw it in my disk box and forgot about it.  I then got another copy with a 
small doc file, and sheepishly dug my old one out and saw the rest of them.  

I have about 6 more of these full-disk type demos (the demo wars are on in 
Europe, boy are we lucky!).  Some of them are absolutely mind blowing.  I 
will MSA these guys and put them on atari.archive.
