Hey, I'm still waiting for NEWCLI FROM file SCREEN screenname. But I wonder if
the same way that jimm adds screen bitplanes in Dropshadow, you could lock
some layers, free some bitmaps, adjust a depth paramater(?), make the screen 
again, and it would work just like that. Intuition seems to be remarkably 
intelligent about behaving sanely under whatever constraints you care to put 
it under; note that you can use MWB to put CLI windows on a 1-bitplane screen.

Think I might just try that.
