I have been told by Steve Bjork that an unknown feature (:^}  of many
of the earlier COCO graphics games & such was to look for the CLEAR
key when initializing. If CLEAR was pressed, then the pogram was to
use PMODE3 graphics instead of PMODE4.

I have an RGB (CM-8, but just traded for a Magnavox 8CM515..), but
have NOT tried it.. Mostly, I 'os9' ... Pete
