 Well I did think of that but if I had cleared the screen that way the
cursor would of been left somewhere on the screen. By clearing the screen
the way I did the cursor is put at the top of the screen. If I had cleared
the screen myself I would of had to of either disasbled the cursor and enable
it or move the cursor with assembly. Anyway far, MK_FP and writing to the
screen aren't ANSI either.
