Does this mean that the width of a display line as returned by DISPLAY_WIDTH
could be, for example, 200 bytes, but in the resolution/mode being used
currently, only the first 100 bytes of each display line is being used ?
If this is so, then SS3 will snatch all 200 bytes for each display line -
this shouldn't be a problem, because the first 100 bytes are being used but
the second 100 isn't. Ok, there will be a waste of 100 bytes per screen line
on the resulting file, but ......

Can you, or someone, remind me of the format again please :o)

Not sure I understand, I basically do this :

open #3,con_
MDRAW #3,menu
MCALL ......
if ACTIVATE hit then I
        MCLEAR #3 <-- This works in the old version but not in the new
version :o(
        CLOSE #3
        REPeat monitor
                if keys pressed = snatch combination, then 
                        grab screen
                        save to file
                        OPEN #3
                        MDRAW #3,menu
                        etc ...
                end if
        end repeat              
end if

Where would I redefine to 2 by 1, and why ?
