I have another stupid question, because, uh, I'm stupid.

I have put the -superhires behind the path to .exe thing, and the .PLR file
is not read only, but when I start the game it has the option for 800x600 -
no apparent opportunity to select the higher resolutions.

Do I need to type in a command line or something after the game starts,
etc.?  Any info would be greatly appreciated.
