------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 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.
