      I don't know if this is new news, but I have been able to bypass the
MOREROWS route entirely.  I write directly to the system-configuration file,
using NewZap, and change a couple bytes, and viola! a 684 x 484 screen.te it.
So, far it has been absolutely transparent to all the software I have used.
However, the change is wiped out if you move the screen gadget in Preferences.
