Question — Will the display enhancer in the 3000 also deinterlace the super high resolution displays like the 1280×400 and 640×960? Bryan

Yes, Ed beats it. Yes, EDLIN is pathetic. But an analogy may be in order: I drive a rusted-through '74 Capri that needs a ring job, a new muffler, and probably a number of other things I don't know about yet. Yes, it's pathetic. Yes, *any* other car on the…

Hey, cut Edlin some slack! Well, OK, don't — it *is* pretty pitiful, but it's *there*. Plus, some people are pretty awe-struck when they see you type commands like "4,7,10c", "8;:" and such.
