\title "Re-Target Display"

This function allows you to \{ \ts i re-target \} \{ \ts b Imagemaster R/t\}
's display. Before \{ \ts b Imagemaster R/t\} , if you had a \{ \ts i HAM-E
\} or \{ \ts i FireCracker \} board you would need \{ \ts b Image
Professional \} or \{ \ts b Imagemaster F/c \} . This could be very inconvient
if you changed from your \{ \ts i HAM-E \} or \{ \ts i FireCracker \} to another
display device. Now, all you have to do is tell \{ \ts b Imagmaster R/t \}
that you have a \{ \ts i HAM-E, Amiga, AGA Amiga, FireCracker 24, or
OpalVision.\} It will automatically retarget the display to operate on any
of these devices.
