The problem is that you have to set the environment variables  which control
the size of the window and the resolution. I don't know the names of them by 
heart, but they are mentioned in the "readme.1st" file. By default they have
the correct values for a 800x600 screen, so if you are working on a 640x480 then
you have the problems you describe.

B.T.W. I have downloaded the file gs252pm.zip from hobbes and not gspm24.zip. 
Does anybody know the difference between them?
