Anyone out there tried any of this?  I think the message following is
self-explanatory, but if not, mail to me (not the list), and I'll supply
more details.

Thanks,

Subject:  Emacs and multiple screens

I just put a $6.95 RAM chip in my terminal and it now has two screens
of memory.  I could easily add two more pages.  I'm wondering if there
is any easy way that emacs could handle multiple screens.  Emacs
would have several logical screens each containing one or more windows.
If you selected a window that was on a screen other than the current
one, emacs would change the current screen and send the proper escape
sequence to the terminal to switch its display. 

This is similar to a recursive edit except that the screens would not
need to be selected in LIFO order and emacs would not need to refresh
the display when switching screens.

Also, is bug-emacs the place to send emacs questions or is there some
other address?
