   Not making use of any dirty hacks or programming tricks at all, you can easily   
   convince yourself that neither of the two screens freezes: With both displays   
   connected and active, call SPRDEF from 80 column mode to put some pixels in   
   sprite number 1.    
   Leave the editor (SHIFT+RETURN, RETURN), then make your sprite visible, e.g. by   
    entering "SPRITE 1,1,2,0,0,0,0". Now try "MOVSPR 1,115#7" and enjoy two   
   displays at once, both non-frozen.
