Re: Seeing the Vesa mode on start-up/changeing same.

Even if you don't have a FORTHdrive, the simulator runs the demos just fine, either by commenting out the lines with the

	 find-drive  /USBdrive  [x]>USBdrive  close-drive

words or ignoring the compiler error they produce. Typing  SIM  starts the simulator. Holding the space bar down steps it--read the docs for more options.
