     That's because you're using the RGB hookup and this information is
provided by the computer (sort of. Colour and tint knobs control the levels
of R, G, and B and their ratios, respectively. If you're sending separately
controlled signals - as you are with the RGB analogue hookup - you already
have control over this at the source.) Those knobs are there for users
who are using the 1084 with a composite signal, wherein you don't have
direct machine control over the individual colour levels and, for that
matter, you often have artifacting and colour balance problems that _need_
correcting.
     (At least, I think they work in that mode. I've never tried it myself,
as I have a separate monitor for the C128...)
                                                     - R'ykandar.
