Is there a "proper" way to determine the resolution of a screen, e.g., something other than XHeightOfScreen (s) / XHeightMMOfScreen (s) ? Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu

I'm not sure what you mean by "proper", but the method you describe is pretty efficient already. Neither of these functions (or the equivalent macros) generate protocol, so the cost is pretty minimal. Ken Lee DEC Western Software Laboratory, Palo Alto, Calif.
