Hi Steve,
On the screen issue, try the display centering adjustments on the second page of the CAL menu.
If that doesn't help. over-scan and centering problems can also be caused by the wrong sync.? For that, check the third page of the CONFIG menus.? There's a button there called DEFAULT SYNC to reset the sync settings to NRM (normal) mode which are best for the internal CRT.

I just tested the ZSETADDR and ZRDWR? commands given there, on my HP8595E. They seem to do something, but not what I'd have expected. Subsidiary problem: My 8595E display centering is a little off, such that the top line (where any error messages appear) is mostly cut off, making it very hard to read the messages. I suppose I can do the HPGL screen dump to my KISS-488, but that rather slows down the process. Is there a straightforward way to adjust the centering? I recall many years ago watching my dad adjust centering on a TV by moving the magnets around the tube yoke on a TV - hoping that's not the method here!

In this thread on eevblog forum:
It is listed undocumented gpib commands for the 856xE series, one can be used to read any memory location.
I have no idea if this works with the 859xE series. These commands is not accepted by my 8562A.
