The folowing solution was mailed to me by rs@tnoibbc.ibbc.tno.nl (Rob
Schoenmaker):

First zoom out, then paste the image from the clipboard, click outside
the hatched area, zoom in, et voila !

This indeed works, but there remains one final problem spot.  As I
mentioned in my original posting, I need to select the whole image,
which is bigger than the viewable area, to invert it to black lines on
white background.  As far as I was able to determine there is no way to
select anything when zoomed out.  I suspect that it is possible to
invert the image in four pieces, but this would be inconvenient.
Does anyone know of a way to select the whole bitmap, and not just the
viewable region?  Too bad print doesn't have the option to print the
bitmap as a negative image.  Does anyone know how to get Kermit to do
white on black in Tek mode?

I did try this on a different system that had a multisync monitor with
the 800x600 and 1024x768 drivers.  With the bigger viewable area, it
was much easier.

Thanks again.
