I recently morerow'ed my display, and now I find that I don't know how to
have a program determine the size of the screen it's running in.  Use
GetScreenData(), you say. To which I reply : I'd like to, but what 
parameters (if any) does it take and what does it return?  I know this
floated by a few months back, but the article seems to have disappeared
from my archives.  Can anyone out there be of assistance?  Wasn't someone
going to post a definitive article on using overscan?

A note to the people at C-A, why didn't you include full function headings
in the Enhancer, etc. documentation instead of just giving the function
name?  All that tells us non-developers is that the function exists, but
nothing about how to use it.  Oh well, one of these days I'll get around 
to ordering the developer's notes, and maybe find out what I'm doing.
