   Jim:   
      
   The screen already exists as an array of chars and attributes... you can   
   create a dozen more arrays if you would like--or just use the one in   
   existence--it just happens to be an array which displays it contents to   
   the screen, directly...  you are not worth a real coders time..   
   I am too old to deal with children...
