Thanks to all who replied to my call for help on my Rainbow's flickering
screen, both directly and to the net.  I performed a little open-monitor
surgery the other evening, and adjusted the trim pots inside the monitor.
That seems to have done the trick - at least, I've not seen any flickering
during the past few days.  A word of advice if you do this (aside from the
obvious danger of screwing around with high-voltage devices!) - run all
of your graphics programs before you close up the patient again.  I had
everything set beautifully the first time, or so I thought, until I closed
everything up, and tried to run a GSX-based graphics program.  The horizontal
hold was crazy (although all of the other graphics and text stuff I own
worked fine!).  [Can anyone comment on why GSX handles things differently?]

Anyway, thanks!
