	Erik Bryntse recently (Nov. 17) posted a "Fast Tetris" which is
indeed a fine program. However, I have a problem running it and am not
sure whether this problem is in the code, in my machine, or in the stars.
Please note that I always run the prog. in STD mode, as recently advised.

	The rectangle which defines the "playing field" seems to be
displayed three lines too high -- i.e., the top of the rectangle is
offscreen (above the top of the display), and the bottom of the rectangle
is three lines above the bottom of the screen. New blocks are added to the
display (to my way of thinking) too far down -- about 20% of the way down
the screen. I have checked the version of the code in my 48, and all
numbers match those in the original posting. Is this problem inherent to
the code, or is my display memory offsetting in an odd way? Thanks!
