Never having done this, I'd imagine you'd use bitmaps for the cameras, copy them (possibly scale them) paste them onto bitmap 0 (the screen) and if you want to draw a divider, just use 'box' or some funky 2d graphic.

or 'use set camera view' but it stretches the screen so it will look squashed if you have 2 screens.

Set camera view #,0,0,320,400 etc...

Use this to set where the camera appears on screen. Like: how much of the screen it fills. Then use

Set camera aspect #

And fiddle with that to stop it being "squished".

Katie and Drew return!!!
