Not brilliant but could be helpful - how about using Linux instead where you can have multiple desktops? Admittedly you have to switch between them which might not be ideal for y ou - an outboard tool such as AF/Remote which can work as a console controll er with multiple messages being fed into one screen (you'll need to do a bit of work there) IIRC, the gas plasma screens were in fact not allowed in many European countries due to emissions from them. I used one in the UK and thought it was pretty nifty though. Seb.
