   I've taken your subtle hint and calibrated my monitor but although things look   
   a bit better now, they're not perfect. I'll play some more and see if I can   
   improve it a bit more ;-))

   Ah yes, of course but as I seldom use overwrite mode, I'd completely forgotten   
   about that.

   OK, fair comment.   
      
    TS> I truly believe your display needs help.   
      
   Yes, it did :)

   Yep.

   Might be better to leave things as they are because it's obviously my monitor   
   that's causing my problem.
