I just took a look at my code, and it already checks for screen resolution.
Apparently, Euphoria is unable to detect the screen resolution unless it
has been set by the current program. I ran into a similar problem with
trying to save screen shots when the screen was left in graphics mode.

Apparently, Euphoria does not actually ask the VGA what the current
graphics state is - it just checks an internal flag. So if the Euphoria
program that you've shelled to changes the screen resolution, the calling
Euphoria program is unable to detect the change, and thus incorrectly
reports the current screen mode.

Is this correct, Robert? Or am I being dense here?

The only "fix" I can think of under these circumstances is to put the
"Press a Key" message at the top of the screen...
