View Ref-FileExtra - Change Resolution...                                          Thing

This function allows Thing, running as a shell under MagiC, to change the 
current screen resolution. From MagiC 4 onwards this requires the program 
CHGRES.PRG (normally found in C:\GEMSYS\GEMDESK) together with CHGRES.RSC 
to be copied to Thing's start directory!

Alternatively (and for all other systems) one can specify a program 
responsible for changing screen resolution with the environment variable 
RSMASTER, e.g. in MAGX.INF:

#_ENV RSMASTER=C:\GEMSYS\GEMDESK\CHGRES.PRG

or in N_AES.CNF:

export RSMASTER=C:\N_AES\APPS\N_CHRES.PRG

In both cases replace this with your own path if different.

Under MultiTOS, N.AES etc. the specified program is started parallel to 
Thing, under Single-TOS (if such a program even exists) Thing quits and 
starts the resolution-change program, without returning afterwards.
