The screen colors choice is crap but I did manage to put the required 
DISPLAY 1B etc commands in the startup and I have it as a easy 
-to-look-at green on black. Why it's set to this, I don't know, there 
must be a reason I suppose.

What wasted more of my time is using ED until I discovered BUILD and I 
just made a new startup file from scratch.

I also needed to set the clock from 60hz to 50hz.

The drivers are a cause for making something like a quick evaluation of 
a piece of software in to a major endevour for someone not a seasoned user.

Too many rough edges and when I evaluate what the final outcome to be, I 
usually find that it's too slow or too ugly.

That's when the RESET button comes in handy!  :)
