Hmmm. After reading the above, I tried some experiments with HyperStudio, 
using a 320 mode SHR scanned photo that didn't take up the full screen, 
and tried adding some buttons and some text beneath the graphic, and no 
matter what I tried, the text was almost unreadable. 

In fact, HyperStudio displays the following message when trying to import 
a 320 mode SHR: "This apppears to be a 320 mode graphic. Text fields and 
visible buttons may appear fuzzy."

Question...

Are you suggesting that you can accomplish the above "trick" in 
HyperStudio itself, or are you suggesting that the "trick" be done in 
Dream Graphix and then exported as a screen into HyperStudio?

If the "trick" can be performed using just HyperStudio, how exactly can 
it be performed?
