row and column? as a math type, I just got too used to y going up, not
down... I realize I should (as a proper math major) just intuit the new
basis, but my intuition still finds counting rows down easier than counting
ys down... 

I guess I was hoping for too much, but I saw some interesting questions
raised about scrolling windows w/steady backgrounds and other assorted tricks
that would be fun to know about... but instead of answers to the questions, 
just ongoing discussions of pascal v. c w/ lots of "let's include the
entire message in the follow up whether we're replying to it or not."

and, yes, I'm working on an answer to the hex LOS question... I suppose,
though, most ray-trace folk would suggest checking the line between source
hex and target hex against the set of circles circumscribed around all the
blocking hexes... if you get a match, try the line against the line segments
making up the hex... circle-line intersections and line-line intersections
should be relatively easy, I think... I'll need overnight to come up with
a really good solution.
