BMP Multipliers Keyword

<BMPMultipliers F[,F] [option]>
<bmm F[,F] [option]>
<bm F[,F] [option]>

    Bitmap Multipliers, both switch and parameter. Multiplies sizes of bitmaps (both .BMPs and Digital Video files) in both dimensions by the first number unless the second is present in which case the first is the X scale and the second the Y scale.  option can be used to override the default stretch blt mode (see <DefaultBMPMultipliers>). Similar to the <WritingColor> switch, when used as a parameter it sets the default for all frames unless the frame contains the switch of the same name that overrides the default for just that frame.

    Most of the time using the parameters in <bmp> (say <bmp 0,0,1,1> for full screen bitmaps) is preferable to using <bmm> unless you don't know the aspect ratio of your screen in which case you'd want to use the macro based scaling in the Bitmap Notes.
