Remarks   This procedure provides a very fast way of filling the
          screen with a specific character. It is useful for creating
          interesting backgrounds for menus and the like.

          Use the procedure ClearText to clear a portion of the
          screen.



Example


               USES CRT, FASTTTT, DOS, WINTTT;
               BEGIN
                 FILLSCREEN(1,1,80,25,CYAN,BLACK,CHR(177);
               END.


The whole screen is filled with the ASCII character 177. It gives a
blocked stipple effect. See the MenuDem.pas program on the
distribution disk for a visual example.
