Examples:
 res_set -l 21                 & rem list the display modes
 res_set -e 21                 & rem set display to mode 21
 res_set xga                   & rem set resolution to 1024 x 768, depth/refresh to minimum for this resolution
 res_set -max xga              & rem set resolution to 1024 x 768, depth/refresh to maximum for this resolution
 res_set -w 800 -h 600         & rem set resolution to 800x600, depth/refresh to minimum for this resolution
 res_set 800 600               & rem same as above
 res_set -w 800 -h 600 -d 32 -r 60
 res_set -max                  & rem use highest supported resolution/depth/refresh values available
 res_set -max -f min           & rem use highest supported resolution/depth but the lowest refresh rate
 res_set -m 2 800 600          & rem set monitor 2's resolution to 800x600
 res_set -m 2 -x 200 -y -600 800 600 & rem set monitor 2's resolution to 800x600, and position to 200,-600

Also
--refresh alias for --frequency
--freq    alias for --frequency
--bpp     alias for --bits
--depth   alias for --bits
-d        alias for --bits

You can use / instead of - to preface single letter options, //width will *not* work.

Resolution can be entered as 'width height', or one of the following terms:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

res_set will only allow you to set parameters to those that are reported by
Windows to be supported by your video card (or you use the --raw option).

Unfortunately, your monitor may not be able to support all of these modes.

Therefore, you should test each mode manually, before using res_set.

Failure to do so, may permanently damage your monitor, computer, and/or mind.

To avoid this, res_set will always select the mininum values for the color
depth and refresh rate, if you do not specify them.

If you do not specify the resolution, res_set will default to the current
resolution for the current monitor, or the monitor you have specified.

If you only specify the width/height, res_set will use the minimum value 
for the height/width supposed for the width/height you used.
