[net.startrek] main viewscreen

	The main viewscreen is mainly computer generated, it is not a  
	window.  Any view can be displayed using information from the
	sensors.  In ST II while the enterprise is in the nebula the 
	main viewscreen is a blurr of noise because the sensors are 
	inoperative.

	The view of the stars while at warp speed is generated from 
	subspace signals.  So it says in the ST novel _The Abode of Life_.
