One thing I neglected to mentionwas what happens to the border
when video is being overlayed.  The answer is that the video does indeed
replace the border (or partially replace it, depending on the mix you've
set).  So if you have the mix set for pure video and no graphics, the
IIgs screen literally looks like a standard TV set.
