I have a Zenith 158, with a CGA monitor... Yesterday I installed a TSR
program but didn't know what the "hot key" was, so I was pressing ctl-alt-
everything (but not <Ins> or <Del> of course :-) to try to figure it out.

Eventually I stumbled across <Ctl><Alt><I>, which apparently threw the
monitor into Interlaced mode.  The characters all shrunk to half-height,
and took up only the top half of the screen.  It turns out that <Ctl><Alt><N>
brings the screen back to "normal" mode.

I tried to duplicate this on a friend's machine, but his Z-158 has an EGA
card in it, and didn't do it anyway.  Has anyone else run across this, or
better still, know why it's in there?  Is there any way to get 50 lines
of text in this "interlaced" mode (not for long without getting a headache
from the flickering, of course)?
