 Charlie,
    This probably won't do much more than make you feel a bit
 better.  Be thankful that you aren't using a 22 col. wide screen
 like the VIC-20 that I used to learn FORTH with.
    I just lived with the limitations and *printed* the screens
 when I *really* wanted to see how the looked.
 Jim
