 STARTDISP IEXP

 Function
  Start PCBoard's display routines in a specified mode.

 Syntax
  STARTDISP mode

   mode  - An integer expression with the mode for display.
           Valid modes are:
           NC  = reinitialize the internal display counters
           FNS = Force Non Stop
           FCL = Force Count Lines

 Remarks
  PCBoard has two modes for displaying information:  non stop and line
  count.  Non stop mode (initiated by passing FNS, for Force Non Stop, as
  the mode parameter) displays information without regard to how fast the
  display is or whether or not the user can read it all.  Line count mode
  (initiated by passing FCL, for Force Count Lines, as the mode parameter)
  displays information while counting lines and pausing after every
  screenful to wait for user input.  Finally, NC may be specified to
  reinitialize the internal display counters without changing the
  current mode.

 Examples
  STARTDISP FCL
  FOR i = 1 TO 100
   PRINTLN "Line ",i
  NEXT
  STARTDISP FNS
  FOR i = 1 TO 100
   PRINTLN "Line ",i
  NEXT
  STARTDISP NC
  FOR i = 1 TO 100
   PRINTLN "Line ",i
  NEXT
