 	Thank you ,  (#1, for not rubbing my nose in it) and the guidence along 
the way .

 	One (poss.) odd question is it possible to scale up the qvss window so 
that it might (as close as possible) fit a new age screen ?  I understand there 
is physical limitation in the emulation in order to maintain appropriate 
original function .  But am hoping I might be able to scale the output for 
less eye abuse .
