after disassembling a code i found on some bbs which doubles the effective
on-screen travel of the mouse form, i found it ixecutes bios function 0x7F
(which is not documented, at least in anything i have, including original
developer's docs).  i thought it might be the disasm but after compiling 
(with madmac) everything works fine. what is this puppy and what other
undocumented treasures are worth knowing about? 

by the way, concerning monitor weirdness, my mono monitor sqeezes the far
right side of the screen such that the last column of text looks about half as
wide as is should. can this be easily adjusted or is a sign of (bad) things
to come?
