(This was to automatically display alternating screens meant for the left eye, then right eye, etc. to achieve a stereoscopic effect with a minimum of software coding). I tried it on a 400 and found that the address in the jump instruction is ignored, the computer continues to use the original display list and the display doesn't change. Perhaps as wallman-george@yale... points out, something has to be done to 'shut-off' shadowing of memory locations pointing to the display list. I haven't figured out how to do it though (or if it is even possible). Maybe it works on the XE machines.
