Yes, however you will have to adjust the screen offset so that your overscan screen is in the right place. I have not decided what I like best, messing with preferences settings, or messing around with the layers ViewPort structure (VP->DyOffset and VP->DxOffset) and then calling RethinkDisplay() or the equivilant. (That manual is it home, the rest of this is from *old* RKM Vol 1, so if it is wrong, forgive me. The concept is right I believe). Currently I am leaning toward messing with the ViewPort structure, as it seems to be the easiest. I've not had to deal with this yet. brian moffet -- O Fortuna - velut luna - statu variabilis - semper crescis - aut decrescis vita detestabilis - nunc obdurat - et tunc curat - ludo mentis aciem egestatem - potestatem - dissolvit ut glaciem brianm@sco.com Speaking for Myself
