I've updated the VBL detection routine.  Reading Understanding the Apple II
by Jim Sather helped.

The routine is much more elaborate than I would have liked, but I think that
it works now.  There is probably a simpler method using a different graphics
mode, but those methods may have their own problems in scanning memory.  An
added feature of this updated routine is that it restores the HGR screen. 
This may be more useful than ending up with a cleared HGR screen as was done
in the original routine.
