	I would have thought that people would have been all over you to
tell you that this is impossible.
	The XBIOS call Setscreen() will change the resolution alright, but
it will not tell the AES to change the resolution.  The AES and VDI need to
know that the resolution is being changed, and in current TOS versions, the
only time this kind of stuff is initialised is during boot-up.
	I thought of automating the desktop features via hotkeys too, but
I quickly realized that this isn't something that mere mortals were meant
to do.
	This what I know about GEM.  If what I said isn't true, please
don't hesitate to correct me.
