SCREEN
            SCREENS are the basic elements of the Amiga display. As the
      name suggests, SCREENS correspond to the screen display, and are the
      place where all other graphic objects (apart from sprites) are
      drawn. The Amiga can display many screens at the same time, meaning
      that applications can open their own screen and do whatever they want
      with it.

            The top part of the screen is called the menu bar. It usually
      contains the screen title on the left, and the two depth gadgets on
      the right. When the right mouse button is clicked on, the titles of the
      menus attached to the screen or the active window are displayed on it.

            SCREENS can be dragged up and down, (by dragging the menu bar)
      revealing screens that are behind them. SCREENS are piled up on a
      stack, the top one being displayed over the other one. By dragging the
      top SCREEN down, it is possible to show the bottom one's. Clicking on
      the depth gadgets of a screen moves it at the top (white gadget) or the
      bottom (black gadget) of the stack.
