...multiple devices would be nice, and is actually being looked into 
now for my current project; as it is now, we simply do the 'quick and 
dirty' method:  assume that if a second screen is available, put the 
GEM window there fullscreen...

...320x240 is an artificial imposition, only hard coded because chris' 
first attempt at switchable resolutions didn't behave as expected!  
Neither of us have looked at it since, but I can say that it's easy to 
recompile with a changed resolution, and indeed I've done many things 
with 640x480 images!  Also, don't forget that there's a speed 
difference between [pix_videoDarwin] and [yuv_videoDarwin]!...and both 
of these will be rolled into a single [pix_videoDarwin] that'll be 
usable simply as [pix_video]...this is a "to-do" list item that keeps 
getting overlooked  ;-)

your welcome!  I hope that more people realize what pd/GEM is capable 
of, and look forward to starting a collection of 'abstractions'!
