 SAYSCREEN()
 Output to the screen without changing the attribute
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax
     SAYSCREEN(<cCharacterstring>, [<nRow>],
        [<nColumn>]) --> cNull
 Arguments
     <cCharacterstring>  Designates the character string to output.
     <nRow>  Designates the first line for the output.  The default is
     the cursor line.
     <nColumn>  Designates the first column for the output.  The default
     is the cursor column.
 Returns
     SAYSCREEN() always returns a null string.
 Description
     SAYSCREEN() produces an screen output and retains all existing
     attributes.  This means that only the characters are overwritten, while
     the accompanying attributes remain unchanged.
 Note
     .  The current cursor position is not changed with the output.
 Examples
     .  Show the output text at the current cursor position:
        SAYSCREEN("  Test SCREEN  ")
     .  Show output text at the current column position on line 24:
        SAYSCREEN("  Test SCREEN  ", 24)
     .  Show output text at column 70, line 24:
        SAYSCREEN("  Test SCREEN  ", 24, 70)
     All examples in this function return a null string.
