Thanks for all who responded. The solutions presented were in essence what
I had tried many times before submitting the question to the net. However,
the trap for young players was the _exact_ syntax of the lines in
CONFIG.SYS, viz:

  SET VIDEO_DEVICES=VIO_IBMVGA,VIO_IBM8514A
  SET VIO_IBMVGA=DEVICE(BVHVGA)
  SET VIO_IBM8514A=DEVICE(BVH8514A)

I had originally typed the first line as:

  SET VIDEO_DEVICES=VIO_IBMVGA, VIO_IBM8514A

The space (believe it or not) is all it takes to completely screw
everything up :-) How silly of me to presume!!

Cheers!
