Somebody please tell me how to create a screen that fills the whole display,
including the borders? I have found that you are able to fill the top, bottom,
and left borders by setting the DxOffset and DyOffset members of the View
structure to lower values, and specifying larger width and height values for
the display, but there seems to be no way of setting the right edge such as to
remove the right border. Am I missing something here? After pouring over the
RKMs and hardware manual for countless hours, and doing some "experimental 
hacking", I came to the conclusion there was no way of doing this. I ran the
Preferences program because I had remembered that you could adjust the
centering of the display. Sure enough, preferences does not allow you to move
the screen all the way to the right edge! 

If somebody knows of a way to remove this right hand border, I would like to
hear about it. One of the reasons I bought an Amiga was play around with 
recording 3D graphics on a VCR. That border on the right side of the screen
will be a nuisance for such an application.

Please forgive me if this is a stupid question, and thanks in advance for any
help :*O
