	(*	     Simple screen output routines.		*)
	(*							*)
	(*  This module handles screen output at a very low	*)
	(*  level, without supplying the advanced features	*)
	(*  which may be found in, for example, module Windows.	*)
	(*  It is intended for things like error message	*)
	(*  output, and is designed for compactness rather	*)
	(*  than comprehensiveness.				*)
