Hi,
	I am a recent Mac convert and am in the process of trying to 
write some programs for it. I am reasonably sure that I have seen information
on how find the boundries of the screen for whatever macintosh the program
is running on (read make it mac II compatable). I spent a couple hours
last night pawing through inside macintosh and could not find it. Does
anyone out there know of a routine or global variable that will give me
the following information.

	- the total size of the screen (342 x 512 on a regular mac)
	- The usable size of the desktop (the above number minus the
		size of the menubar)

thanks
