	Earlier, I inquired to the general Zenith-using public about the 
mysterious Ctrl-Alt-F function, and got many responses, none of which seem
to match my Z-248 results.  Hitting Ctrl-Alt-F (oh, I'm on a color VGA, for
what it's worth) blanks the lower half of the screen, condenses all the writing
to the upper half, and slices off the lower half of each character.
	
     All I could get Ctrl-Alt-N and Ctrl-Alt-I to do to my mutilated display
was move the entire display vertically for a matter of pixels.  Yes, rebooting
does fix everything.  To make matters worse, I did some more experimenting
with Ctrl-Alt combos and found that the number keys (on the top of the key-
board, I didn't try the keypad) also do nasty things.  Good luck in explaining
these!  Why aren't these things ever in the manual?
