	If I had to guess, I'd say that the flicker is because of the
difference in scan rate between the computer screen and the TV (or movie)
camera. This also shows up occasionally on the evening news, whenever
they show a shot of a television screen over in Europe (which uses a 50Hz
cycle rate for their TV sets, in general).

	How to work around it, I don't know.

Whoa! That wasn't a LightspeedC question! Whoops... ;-)
