     would open a screen on function key 2 with a x resolution of
     800  pixels  and  a  y  resolution  of 600 pixels.  With the
     default font, this would yield 50 lines of text each with 80
     characters  per  line.   The screen would have a black back-
     ground and a white foreground.
