XPshadow()
Just another Shadow function
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function: XPshadow()
XPshadow() is just another of those shadow functions. It uses
SaveScreen(), XPreplAttr() and RestScreen() to make the
shadowing, and not, such as other libraries, direct writes
to screen. The function is as fast as any other, and respects
the Clipper guidelines on Video I/O.
Syntax: XPshadow(nTop,nLeft,nBottom,nRight[,nAttr]) --> NIL
Arguments: The screen region where the Shadow has to be placed. The
Shadow is placed one Line under the <nBottom> region, and
two characters right of <nRight>. XPshadow() however, checks
for MaxRow() and MaxCol() bounds, and eventually restricts the
area to be shadowed. <nAttr> is optionnal, it represents the
attribute to use as Shadow, when omitted, it uses 8 (Dark Gray)
on Color systems and 7 (Light Gray) on Monochrome systems.
Returns: NIL
Usage: XPshadow(3,3,15,56)
