Full screen, like all other windows most of the time.

When making a password generator a while ago, I noticed this algorithm doesn't give the correct distribution:
1) start the password with the characters it has to have (e.g. one digit)
2) fill the rest of the password randomly according to the requirements (e.g. digits and letters)
3) shuffle the password.
For example, if you need to generate a two-character password using only A and 1, with at least one 1, these should be equiprobable: A1, 1A, 11. But if you start with 1A or 11 and shuffle it, you'll end up with 11 half the time.

Here are a couple of things I noticed:
- String Output and Buffered Line Output use X for low address bits and Y for high bits, but Get Date and many other calls use X for bank or high address bits and Y for low address bits.
- One of Set Time's arguments is "Bank of argument structure" but another is "Address of buffer."

More test images. 1000 rectangles on a blank canvas each.

Trying to approximate an image by drawing random rectangles:
1) Start with a blank canvas (initialised to the average colour of the target image).
2) Draw a rectangle with random width, height, X position, Y position and colour.
3) If the rectangle makes the difference between current image and target image smaller, continue, otherwise undo the previous step.
4) Go to 2.
