Odd, I thought I did use HW in my code. Also I recall something in the
docs on the color keyed blits bit. I don't have it here but at 
home, but I'll look tonight if I get a chance. I'll mail a report
on that tonight, hopefully. That'll be more constructive than my
vague underinformed bitching of late. :)
