 SAYMOVEIN()
 Displays screen output with a "move in" effect
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

     SAYMOVEIN(<cCharacterstring>, [<nDelay>],
        [<nLine>], [<nColumn>], [<lDirection>])
         --> cNull

 Arguments

     <cCharacterstring>  Designates the string to be output with the
     "move in" effect.

     <nDelay>  Designates a time delay in milliseconds.  The default
     value
     is 4.

     <nLine>  Designates the line where the result is output.  The
     default is the cursor line.

     <nColumn>  Designates the column where the result is output.  The
     default is the cursor column.

     <lDirection>  Designates the direction that the characters are moved
     onto the screen.  If you omit this parameter or designate it as .F., the
     movement is from the left.  If you designate it as .T., the movement is
     from the right onto the screen.  The default is movement from the left
     (.F.).

 Returns

     The function always returns a null string.

 Description

     SAY MOVE IN
     This function has a particular effect on string screen output.  From a
     certain position characters are individually moved in from the left or
     right of the screen.  After this output, the cursor position is at the
     end of the string.

 Note

     .  Control characters, as with @...SAY commands in CA-Clipper are
        not interpreted.

 Examples

     Show special affect output beginning at line 10, column 10 with a
     100-millisecond time delay.  The string is moved in from the left:

     SAYMOVEIN("Clipper", 100, 10, 10)
     Column 10:
           r
           er
           per
           pper
           ipper
           lipper
           Clipper            // Result on line 10 !
