Hi All,
	Someone has probably asked this before but...

	How do you go about setting up a dual playfield display under
	Intuition?

	The Intuition manual suggests it's possible, but doesn't give details.
The RKM shows how to set up a dual playfield display but not with Intuition.

	I've sort of got it working by opening an Intuition window with
DUALPF set and then reorganising things the way I want them. However, the
display momentarily does colorful things during this setup, and I then seem
to have a problem with the color map.

	I opened the window with 6 bitplanes, and Intuition initialised it
with two playfields, one with 6 bitplanes and the other with none! I
changed this to use 3 bitplanes for each playfield. Unfortunately, I only
seem to have 8 colours, shared by the two playfields, instead of 16 colours
with the first 8 for playfield 1 and the second for playfield 2.

	Are there any wise people out there who can suggest the "correct" way
to do this thing?
