Example

This example displays an image, clears a box (defined by (8,7)x(14,34)) 
to color 7 (light grey in the default 16 color palette), draws a 3D 
beveled box around the cleared area, displays graphic mode text within 
the 3D box.

nStatus = ShowPCX("ASMUSSEN.PCX")
nStatus = Sleep(4)
nStatus = ClearWin(7, 8, 9, 8, 13, 33)
nStatus = DrawBeveledBox(8, 7, 7, 15, 8, 0, 8, 7, 14, 34)
nStatus = SunSay(10, 9, 8, 0, 7, "", ;
    "Lake Asmussen, Sweden")
nStatus = SunSay(11, 9, 8, 0, 7, "", ;
    "320x200x256 PCX image")
nStatus = Sleep(4)
nStatus = TextMode()
