`18.May.2026` Krzysztof Donat (ANF)	Virtual desktops for the Workbench: GoVD 3.0 with ARexx support Krzysztof Donat’s GoVD programme allows the Workbench to be used on up to eight virtual screens under AmigaOS 3.2 or later. It is possible to specify which Workbench windows and programmes should use which of the screens. Version 3.0 of GoVD now provides an ARexx interface called REXXGOVD, through which the programme can be controlled using ARexx scripts or other ARexx-compatible applications such as AmiDock or ToolManager. A full description of all ARexx commands, return codes and sample scripts can be found in the GoVD.guide documentation. (dr) [News message: 18.
