Function: VISETMODE( <expC1> ) --> logical
Synopsis: Sets a video card to specified Mode
<expC1> numeric value ( in HEXADECIMAL notation )
representing Mode to set Video card to
This function is an all around video set function.
It can set a videocard to ANY mode provided it supports
it. If You use this function, first of all make sure that
Your MONITOR supports the new resolution as some are so
high in their display resolution that they may damage Your
monitor if they are not supported. The function will accept
the mode in decimal and convert it to hexdecimal.
PLEASE REFER TO YOUR MONITOR AND VIDEO CARD MANUAL FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION IF BOTH SUPPORT THE TYPE OF DISPLAY MODE
YOU DESIRE TO SELECT!!!
Watch out for the resolutions only supported by MULTISYNC
or MULTIFREQUENCY monitors ( they are generally the
high HEX numbers > 20h )
However take care in selecting a mode that works fine with
Your system.
Examples: VISETMODE( "7" ) && sets VGA videocard to mode 07h
VISETMODE( "29" ) && sets VGA card with ET4000
&& into 800x600 graphics mode
VISETMODE( "53" ) && sets VGA card with TVGA 8900
&& into 132x25 textmode
Returns: .T. if called successfully, otherwise .F.
