After the lengthy discussion of graphics under intuition  and colors etc.
WHy couldn't one do this..
make a videoboard that locked onto a chromakeyed region.
and then overlay its video into that region.
in more clear terms... let intuition open a window on workbench
in "blue screen"(with the appropiate borders etc)
let the monitor signal enter this board, let the board scale down
ntsc video and overlay it at teh given coordiantes and sizing.
then out to monitor.  Just pass the region information to
the board and shut it down if theres a window move or resize until
that is executed.  Obviously audio is not a problem.

possible no?
ok I'm not a tech-head enough to do this but the same principle
could be applied to a vga graphics board output to the same board.

comments welcome on this newsgroup.  I am sure theres a flaw
or it would have been done already.
