     I'll try it, John.
     Reason was, after clearing, the cursor was at the bottom of the screen.
     A normal cls puts the cursor at the top.
     The screen clears fast enough that the cursor is not noticed.
     But I will try turning it off to see the effect and how much it
     increases the code size.
     Because it's slower (more complicated), it will help the spiral routine
     James V. posted, in responce to my request to see more clearing routines
     (hint, hint).
Kind regards, Barry
