I use the "mwb" program to generate additional Workbench screens. Great
program -- thanks Matt (or was that Mike?).  I put something that generates
lots of text onto an interlace-mode Workbench screen, and put stuff I want to
actually READ onto a regular Workbench (#$%"$&% Commodore 1040 monitor,
trash!).  Of course, that still doesn't give me the capability to move windows
between screens..... but with the current implementation of Intuition, it
would be very non-trivial to do it in a non-kludgy manner.
