SH*T! Why have you been hiding this from us Jake ?!
That's a farkling good idea - especially in widescreen mode.
It needs a little work - probably by someone like you - but I was
able to get some downright AMAZING displays. Like:
Hotlist oneside, Arachne chat other side.
Inbox oneside, next message other side.
Compose oneside, incoming mail other side.
And you can use Arachne DGIs as framesources:
A minute ago I had inbox.dgi left + outbox.dgi right.
By a marvel of chance with some editing of sideshow.htm, I had
previous screen on one side, previous-1 screen on other side with
ESC taking me back in pairs. I admit it was unstable, but NEAT
while it lasted.
This used "arachne:history" as the source for the second frameset.
It oscillates at startup while history keeps updating, but if you
hit ESC (ESC=Back), it quits and settles into some pretty strange
sequences.
WARNING !! Do not try this without a net unles your mother is watching !!
BTW, it is neat entertainment and looks 1x10^6 % better than randomly
placed random sized windows, but I STILL don't like multiple windoze.<G>
Of course, I could have imagined it all, I guess. :-*
