I can't see why the screen swap command would wait for the blanking gap.
If it is instantaneous then the code should be reversed to what the manual
says (Which is what I thought would be correct).
If the Screen Swap does wait until the blanking gap then the Wait
Vbl is not needed at all because this is auotmatically assumed.
The only reason this would be needed is just incase the drawing
etc. takes less than 1/2 a second and that once the screenswap has been
called the program continues with the next update. But in theory this
should just create a que of future screen swaps at future Vblanks.
