        Thanks, Gary.  I guess the message must have been confusing
to several readers.  I was refering to _WP 4.0_.  I, too, have my
Reveal Codes set to 4 lines in WP 5.1/6.0.  To further enhance my
working screen I have configured _WP 5.1_ to use the TVGA(*) 43
driver to get 43 lines per screen.  I haven't set up _WP 6.0aD_ to
use 43 lines/screen and it looks like an Apple IIE/WP 6.0 screen
with only 25 lines per screen.
        Maybe that's another reason I refuse to use _WP 6.0aD_ or
_WP 6.0Win_ and their cutzie wootzie icons and 3-handed operating
systems (keyboard + mouse).  :=)  To me, but who am I?, 6.0D really
blew it by having to use Alt- for the pull down menus, but they
saved themselves (actually US) by having user written Alt-
macros have a higher priority. (How about Ctrl-Alt to activate
pull down menus?)  I was unhappy enough to lose my Ctrl- macros
in _WP 6.0D_ that I use so often in _WP 5.1_. (Age old things like
Ctrl-Y to delete a line!)
(*)    I just bopped to DOS and looked at my TVGAUTIL directory and
the utility is evident so old that it only supports WP 5.1.
