Hi Scott,

During hi-res GsSortClear() will clear 640x511.  As you can see you have
to minus 1 line in height.  I suggest setting the GsDRAWENV.isbg = 1
which will clear the background.  Check out my interlace example in 
my tutorial.  It is set in the routine InitGame()...also check
UpdateScreen().

Regards,

George@SCEE
