{All of these procedures work in any screen mode, so do not require
 Pascal's annoying BGI and INITGRAPH stuff, which I've never used,
 anyway.

LOCATE -- Move text cursor to desired point on screen (x,y).
PRINT  -- Print SR (string) in color COL. Will work from the
           current cursor location. May be slow, but it works
           well. Haven't really optimized it.
SETSCREENMODE -- Returns true or false whether it was successful in
                  setting the screen mode. Use $13 for VGA, or any
                  of the standard INT 10h numbers.
PSET -- Put a pixel on X,Y in color COL in any screen mode. Slower
         than direct memory writes, but a procedure using direct
         memory writing for any screen mode would be enormous.
POINT -- Returns pixel value for (x,y). Such as if there is a color
          15 pixel at 100,100 and you do X:=POINT(100,100), it will
          return 15.
