SAYSCREEN()

Syntax:     SAYSCREEN(<expC>[,<expN1>][,<expN2>])

Arguments:  <expC> is the string to be issued.
            <expN1> denotes the first line to be issued (default: cursor
            line).
            <expN2> denotes the first column to be issued (default:
            cursor column).

Returns:    A character string.
            A null string is always returned.

Usage:      This function can be used to produce an output on the
            screen while retaining all existing attributes.  This means that
            the character are overwritten, whereas the
            corresponding attributes are not changed.

Notes:      The actual cursor position is not changed with the output.

Library:    CT1.LIB

Examples:   * Output of a text at the existing cursor
            * position.
            SAYSCREEN(" Test SCREEN ")

            * Display of text at the existing column
            * position in line 24.
            SAYSCREEN(" Test SCREEN ",24)

            * Output of text from column 70 to line 24.
