[comp.sys.amiga] Windows extending beyond screen edges - It's possible!

WARNING: Techniques discussed in this article will CRASH your Amiga!

Some mention has been made recently of the inability of Intuition to support
windows extending beyond the boundaries of a screen as is possible with
other window systems (e.g. Mac, X).  Well, there is a way to move a window
beyond a screen's edges: Hold down Left-Amiga(or C=)-N while dragging the 
window.  Oh, you wanted the window to be clipped to the screen's edges too?
That's extra (V1.3?). 

I didn't discover this, Rob Hilchie gets the credit for figuring it out
at the recent World of Commodore show in Toronto.  Information like this
must not be allowed to fall into the hands of Atari ST people, gawd knows
what havoc they might wreak! :-)
