	Check out the border synchro demos, and or GS<>IRC demo 2,
which isn't available, but you should have access to it.  The same
text/ border/ background color tricks could be applied.

	You can read the horizontal accurate to about
22 pixels.  What we were trying to do was get that down to about 20
pixels, and then you could have 16 palettes per line.  However, due to
point 1 or 2, it doesn't work.
