PLEASE

Can we have coordinates the way everyone does then, i.e. 0,0 is in  
the BOTTOM LEFT and 1,1 is at the TOP RIGHT.
PostScript works that way, maths work that way, etc.
ONLY for character grid personal computers is an inverted vertical  
axis used, so as to add a line space for each new line instead of  
having to subtract it. This was a frig, and I hope we can avoid  
repeating it.
