Well, whaddaya know!  Semi-techical question on amiga.tech! 

1. What's the best way to find out the WB screen size?  I'd like to bring
	up a small square window, so I need to adjust the window size "on
	the fly" (right?).  I've seen the section in the 1.2 Enhancer Doc
	about peeking at Gfxbase->something_or_other, and I know about
	GetScreenData().  Do both of these report "correct" sizes for
	standard and hi-res, and interlaced, and morerow-ed screens?
	Just trying to be compatible with folks' fancies...

2. Now that we've got the neat ENV: device, are there library calls to
	getenv() and setenv()?  Granted, it's not a biggie to go D.I.Y.,
	but if the interface is already there, I ought to use it.
	(In this case, it's to have UUCP's "mail" command get ENV:editor
	to select your favorite editor.)

That's all.  I return you to the usual newgroup content...

hissssssss..kerrrrrrrrrrrrrr...krakkkk....ssssssssssss.....ggzzzzzzz....
