Set resolution (was ARGGGGHHH!......pls help!)

[Bruce Epstein - Zeus Productions]

Gary Smith, makes of buddy, has a version of baSetDisplay that sets the
monitor refresh rate too. I guess it would be best to check the old refresh
rate and use that as the new refresh rate when changing the resolution. Ask
Gary for more info. (http://www.mods.com.au/budapi)
