It's less obvious when Peter is being sarcastic than it is when Tom is
being sarcastic. I assume Peter wasn't serious when he said this because
if he knew anything about Amiga Video, and he seems to, he would know it 
is impossible. 

To change a screen you need to change The colormap and the bitmap 
pointers. even if both screens were 1 bitplane the best resolution
on placement would be something like 64 pixels. The best way to get
a horizontal "screen" is to lay all the sprites side by side. Then you
can have one 128 X n X 2 lo-res screen that is draggable horizontally.
(Oh but you lose the mouse pointer, so you maybe want to keep to a 112
pixel wide low resolution "screen")

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
