From: Rob Rimbold <rimbold%ulowell.csnet@CSNET-RELAY.ARPA> The Amiga will stop output to the screen when any character is typed from the keyboard, and resume output when either the character is erased or followed by a carriage return. That is why the ^X that someone mentioned that they were using as an XON character works. How did anyone manage to get 30 or so box demos running on the screen at once? I tried with my 512K machine, and only managed about 20 before it complained about 'Not enough memory' and asked me to reset. Has anyone else tried 'boxing' up the screen? ~Rob

We resized all the windows to their minimum size before arranging them in neat columns; I suspect it would be more RAM efficient to leave them unsized and stacked on top of each other.
