Jukka,

I'm using a fairly modern 4:3 Sony Trinitron, but it doesn't seem to
have the zoom facility that you mentioned.

You were right I hadn't applied the patches, but have now and nothing's
changed, so I suppose I'll just have to live with it until I can afford
a widescreen TV.

Thanks for your help.
