devil was Shadow.setup2 designed to do. As far as I can find there are no dox
to be found anywhere. I assume that it has something to do with graphics...
mainly due to it's rather bizzare interaction with Deluxepaint II. Has anyone
else had the rather odd problem with Shadow.setup running under 5.0.3 eating
the menu bars in Deluxepaint? To describe: when you move to the far right of the
screen to select different tools/brushes/whatnot the pointer simply paints over
the menu in white. The menu can be restored my hitting 0 to clear it then 0 to 
restore. This will not rectify the problem with it being "eaten" but will let
you see what's going on again. It also tracks white over the picture, although
it only seems to affect what is printed to the screen, as opposed to the actual
picture file.
   In any case it is a rather odd condition, and went away as soon as I pulled
Shadow.setup2 out of the system.startup folder. It's not a real problem, but I
would dearly love to know just what in the world it was designed to do, as a 
routine that would overprint the screen while not altering the picture beneath
is rather neat...although this was clearly not the intent. Upon further 
reflection I wonder if it could just be some bizzare confusion with the ROM 3
version? In any case, it's late, I'm tired, and this is all just too odd for
now...
