Look up "aspect ratio" in you QB manual.You can adjust the aspect ratio in
the graphic command.  Calculate the aspect ratio with the
formula: (4/3) * (ypixels/xpixels)  ypixels and xpixels are
your currę*ent screen's resolution. Then the circle command
can be adjusted like this: CIRCLE [STEP] (x,y),,,,aspect.

All those commas are necessary placeholders.
And the command linewrapped in this message.
