DESCRIPTION

    VSM is a commodity that allows switching to other portions of a
    virtual screen by pressing a hot key combination rather than
    scrolling there.

    VSM steps through the virtual screens one at a time, vertically
    or horizontally, from top left to bottom right.

    This is useful if you have installed a graphic card in your Amiga
    and do not like the annoying delay that occurs when you switch
    between native Workbench and application's custom screens.

    A virtual screen may be any size up to the maximum allowed for
    that screentype and the graphics RAM in your system. You are
    only able to view the visible size at any given time.

    You may find it helpful to define a virtual screen size exactly
    an integer multiple of your visible screen size. For example:

        NTSC:High Res Laced     Visible Size:   660 x 414
                                Maximum Size: 16368 x 16384

    Set your Screen Size to 1320 x 828. This gives you four separate
    views of the virtual screen (see the figure below), and will
    prevent portions of the virtual screen from being visible in
    multiple views.

    changed via ARexx. The default direction is vertical.
