Thanks a bunch for the advice, Clay!! I'll check this out. Remeber, on the
test screen, there is no right side to the screen border..there is a top, a
bottom, and a left side of the rectangle, but no right side. The crosshatch
seems OK, but the fact that there is no right edge bothers me..maybe this is
an indicator of something I should check??
