Screen Size Advice

[Brian Yennie]

Tom,

I think you are confusing screenRect with your stack's rect. 
"screenRect" reports the size of your computer screen, and since yours 
is set to 1024x768 that is what it always reports for you. On the other 
hand, you can set your stack's "rect", "height" and "width".

One thing to note- if you want to run on a 800x600 resolution, you will 
want to make your stack slightly smaller than that for platforms that 
have menubars, start menus, etc that take up screen space on top of 
your application.
