I'm just makeing a demo or maybe a mini game on my laptop... to learn from and for fun...

its a Landscape Application,

rem Landscape App
SetDisplayAspect( 4.0/3.0 )
SetVirtualResolution (640 , 480 )

*EDIT
the close as I've come to getting the image right is 1057 X 719,
but that still leaves black margins top right side and bottom...

I don't mind haveing a margin at the top " i can use that to display game info... but I want the image to fit left to right and the bottom of the image to sit at the bottom of the screen ...

NEVER use both set display aspect and set virtual resolution. One or the other is required. Using both will cause very odd banding issues on certain devices. It is also totally unnecessary.
If you stick with set virtual resolution just make the image 640x480. If you want to go with aspect ratio 640x480 should still be okay, but you can have any image size as long as it is 4/3 ratio. You will need to set the sprite size to the size of the screen.
