Just noticed by accident if you have a small screen mode if you click on the 
top of the screen and drag it up above the top of the monitor and release the 
mouse button it will change to full screen mode.  Learn something new every day!

Ahhh, full screen mode... the demon mode from hell.  On most modern systems 
with large monitors it crashed the program.  It uses DirectDraw and if your 
DirectDraw implementation does not handle your monitor size, bye bye Heather.  
That means full screen mode (or clicking the MAXIMIZE button or pressing F11 
crashes Heather unless your monitor or graphics driver was a standard VGA era 
screen res like 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, or 1280x1024). Only those four 
monitor widths allow full screen mode.  Monitor height is not check for.

Because pressing the MAXIMIZE button was quite easy to do accidentally,  full 
screen mode is disabled by default (but F11 can't be disabled).  If your 
monitor / graphics driver is one of the magic sizes you can enable full screen 
mode with the new /fu command.  For instance for a 1024x768 screen try:
   /fu /vm

If you have a larger monitor and can configure your display driver for one of 
the magic sizes, that works.

The /f command now brings up Heather in a windowed mode sized to fill (most of) 
the screen.  You can also do that with $f from the keyboard.
