If you're using a color monitor, then grey shades are used for the screen, and the locations of the pixels are mapped to different shades (since the Mac monitor has more pixels vertically than the ST's medium resolution has). You can also hit a key and get a fully-mapped view of the top/bottom half of the screen. --R.J. B-) P.S. This is the same trick the Magic Sac uses for its color monitor support. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: These are my views, and mine alone. # ## # Mailing address: Beats me, just reply to this message # ## # (rjung@sa132.usc.edu?) ## ## ## #### ## ####
