	The problem was with my software... After fixing it, I have had
absolutely no trouble having one process open the Screen, and other processes
use the screen to put their intuition windows in.

	I'm creating these processes via CreatProc(), faking a seg list
(with one block and the code being a jump to a subroutine)... I haven't
had any problem with that either.  In fact, I didn't even have to
re-open any libraries (the condition of the program being that all sub
processes will go away before the parent).

1.2 Beta I impressions:

	The Disk caching is great! I just set za number of buffers to
32 and Alink no longer seeks all over the place in pass 1.  The icons
come up noticebly faster.  Long-term writes (e.g. copy a 200K program)
are not any faster, but that's ok.

	The ^G screen-blink bug is still there... I hope when you said
it was fixed you meant in the Beta II...

	Being a Beta I, it seems to crash a bit more often then 1.1, but
that's to be expected (also I've only had it a short while and have been
doing some major programming, so I could be completely wrong).

	I'm still waiting for our (beloved?) Lattice to give us some
major improvements.
