Many thanks to all for the help and advice. However, there are still
problems! I used Tools > Options to create a new mount, calling it
HD4, and leaving the original HardDisc4 as well. Running VRPC now
gives me quite the wrong screen mode, which I wasn't able to change.
Also, of course, all the Look at and Run in !Boot are missing, but
that's to be expected.
I may be about to be a coward and abandon the whole idea, unless
anyone can give me an idiot's idea as to what I may have dome wrong
over what is essentially an unusable screen mode.
