Hi Duncan, Whilst disp_size works a treat, a pointer drop down solution does appeal. If you come across the source, i don't mind taking a look.

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.
