  I think this is a great idea and mentioned it to R.J. Mical when he 
gave his talk in the Boston area.  Even just for the intuition screen it 
would be nice to have a superbitmap to move around in.   I do not think
you need any special scroll gadgets either.  We had a Tektronics SmallTalk 
workstation here that had a virtual 1024x1024 screen on a physical 640x400
display.  It felt very comfortable, as you moved the mouse to the edge
the physical screen it would scroll the virtual screen over.
