	Word of Warning:  For all you developers out there, DON'T COUNT ON
OVERSCAN when developing programs!!!  That is, any software you develop had 
better run on a normal 640x200 screen as well.  Remember, there are people
out there who don't have fancy monitors... or even monitors at all, and many
TV's can't handle anything larger than 640x200 (640x400 interlaced).

	A good example is a modem program... you don't want to open a
650x210 normal (w/borders etc...) window to get 80x25 text unless you first
check to see if the (workbench) screen can handle it... easy enough to do.
