that what Keith said summarizes pretty well indeed.

I thought a bit and started a draft of a patch what we can make this stuff
"maxscreensless". And what seemed to be the hard part is actually there: I
brought all global definitions inside AddScreen, reallocating them (well, I'll
have do the same with WindowTable there). See the attached.

Now it seems the rest is bit trivial then, don't? I meant, like Keith and
Aaron said, is just a matter to add a new struct member in both ScreenRec and
ScrnInfo. 


Who tries? :)
