Why do you do this and what exactly do you put in your copper lists ?
Can you or anyone else give me a few examples of what can be gained
by generating one's own copper lists please ? 

Other than having two copper lists for double buffering, as
shown in the RKM Libraries & Devices (Yep I'm still using the
old ones :-), and changing the colour palette in the middle of scan
lines for nice demos :-), I can't see much point in messing around with
copper lists. I can't understand what people do with copper
lists in programs such as Stuart's. Help please !
