screensize
Description
Reports the resolution to which the computer's monitor is currently set.
Examples
screensize reports the coordinates of the main and total screen areas
Discussion
Note: The screensize object on Windows now behaves as it does on the Macintosh - it outputs the screen's size rather than its bounding coordinates. While this may cause off-by-one errors in patches that use the screensize object on Windows, fixing them will guarantee cross-platform compatibility for your patches.
Arguments
None.
