The lack of a graphics save&option  can  be  by-passed  by using a

of  help to those learning the
language.  It  may  appear   a
simple  program  but there's a
lot of code in there.  Perhaps
someone   could   change   the
colours  used - they're awful!
But  otherwise a good program,
if  rather  limited  in   it's
present form.
