I think Matt means routines for converting the properties according to
screen- and charactersizes. This was one of the first problems I encountered
when exchanging programs with Wolf for the tutor: he used a 640 x 480
screen, and I an 800 x 600.
Controls and sizes of characters look a lot different in different
resolutions, I can tell you.
