zz: Joystick Afterthought: Prob w multi windows (Andrew?

[Ted Nelson <ted@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The two-joystick thing is great for two windows,
 but as soon as we go to multi windows it's less
 relevant.

Andrew-- is there a way to communicate
 with two Netscape (or IE) windows at once?
 In that case the user could select which two
 are currently Joyful.  (Cf. 'accursed'.)

CheersT
