Hi Neil,
 
Yes it is possible I wrote a pointer driven button that produced a drop  down 
menu to select the desired screen resolution some years ago when I had a  
functioning Aurora. The one thing that had to be done before switching screen  
resolution was to ensure that SBASIC was asleep on a button before changing.  
Over the years I have migrated the program to a Q60 and QPC2 so I am not now  
certain that it would run on Aurora. At the time Aurora only had mode 4  
colours. I still use the program on the Q60 switching on the fly from 1025x256  
high 
colour to 512x256 high colour and then down to mode 4 colour if  desired.
 
I could dig out the sources if you are interested. I might even have an  old 
Aurora version on one of the old floppy disks. If you are  interested.
 
Duncan
