If the "potentiometer" increases/decreases the number of lines, then it might certainly be inside the monitor; if it shrinks or lengthens the vertical shape of the screen, that's on the outside -- and *that* control doesn't change the number of lines (it just resizes the screen). >However, because the voltages and currents inside a monitor can >easily be LETHAL, if you've never done that before, I don't >recommend it.

So this means I wouldn't likely want to spend any more money on it. Nonetheless, I'll still use it with programs in a way that avoids most of the annoying top line. It has it's own "special" challenges that are somewhat interesting... ;-) Jerry... on his COMPAQ PORTABLE II -- #4 | My laptop computer's a ***** 14.4kbps/42MB HD/640k RAM/8 MHz | Tandy TRS-80 Model 100 Net-Tamer V 1.11.2X - Registered To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
