 Usage Note
   ■ The SCREEN object is accessed by including the keyword SCREEN when
     referencing applicable methods or properties. For example:
 
         SCREEN.Height
 
   ■ Use the SCREEN object with the HIDE method to hide all visible forms
     with a single line of code. Use the SCREEN statement to set the screen
     mode back to 0 before forms are displayed. In some cases, you will also
     need to use the WIDTH statement to reset the screen width to 80 columns.
     For example:
 
         SUB Form_Click ()
             SCREEN.HIDE               ' Hide any visible forms
             SCREEN 7
             COLOR 7, 4
             CIRCLE STEP(0, 0), 100, , , , 5 /25
             SLEEP 2
             WIDTH 80
             SCREEN 0
             SCREEN.SHOW               ' Redisplay any visible forms
         END SUB
