No, this isn't about Turbo Debugger 3.1 choking on 8514/a adapters
in 1024X768 mode.  It's yet another annoyance.

I decided that I wanted TD in 43/50 line mode, so I set it in
the configuration file.  Right after I chose it, the mode changed
and everything was fine.

I leave TD and come back to it so that it tries to set the video mode
from the configuration file and I get weirdness.  The window on the
screen *thinks* it's in 43/50, and sizes itself accordingly.  Unfortunately
my display is in a 25-line mode.  So the cursor happily wanders south to
somewhere near my contrast dial, well out of sight.  I go back, select
25 line mode from the menu, and then select 43/50, and voila, the video
mode changes correctly.

Things work just fine at home on my Tseng 4000, btw.  I'm hoping someone
on the net might have discovered a solution, since the Borland Tech Support
guy grumbled at me and said he'd report it, but something makes me
skeptical.  (Okay, I'll cut him some slack.  It -was- before 7:30am in
Scotts Valley when I called).  But he didn't take any info. If
there is a solution, I won't get it from them without another call.

Any information would be appreciated.

-Sean
