I have it set so that it boots up with a MONO window on a separate screen. While I have both MONO and COLOR (I think that's right — I'm doing this at home, and the bridge is at work) turned on, I only have the MONO window/screen actually running. I select full window, two colors and interlace. Then I save, using the menu. When I boot up again, it comes up with its separate screen and all, in MONO mode, but no full window, and no interlace. I have to go back and set them. Now, I found a file called "sidecar.[something]" which I actually read using a text reader, and it didn't appear to be binary, but a series of text settings which had some parameters expressed in hex-style text — but they were ascii characters reading as hex, like the equivalent uses in AREXX. I even deleted this file, and re-saved. Another file was created in its place. That's why I thought you could hard code it. Do you think it would work if I deleted the sidecar.settings file, opened BOTH a mono and a color screen, set them up, saved, etc.? Ray Lewis
