Speaking of screen savers....
I can't fathom why they all want to grab that extra 32K of RAM
to blank the screen.  Isn't it enough to just zero out the pallet
adn then restore it when it comes time to "unblank"?  What am
I missing here?  (besides the possible color/mono conflict)
Can't somebody come up with a auto-folder screen saver that takes
up just a few bytes?
