BUILDER OTHER FUNCTIONS

The Builder Library 'Other' Functions Don't Really Fit Any Category, All
Are Simple and Very Useful.

When You Start Programming Using the Builder Development System, It Is a
Good Idea to Replace All Your INKEY(0) Function Calls With the Builder
WaitKey().  The Reason For this Is that the WaitKey() Function Will React
to any of Your Mouse Pads, and INKEY(0) Won't.  Another Advantage is
WaitKey() Will React to SET KEY TO...!

There Are a Few Other "Other" Functions that Just Didn't Make It Into the
Demo.  They ARE Useful, Just Not Very Often.  It's Good to Know They're
There...

Var()         - This One is an Absolute MUST MEMORIZE Because It Gives
                You Access to the Builder Internal Control Variables.
                (Mostly These Are Colors) Definetely See the Documentation
                on this Function!

VarInit()     - Calls the Var() Function Repeatedly to Initialize the
                STATIC Array that Contains the Builder Internal Variables.
                This function executes automatically once per program
                execution.

CkPrtr()      - Check Printer, Tests the Printer to See if All is OK and
                Displays a MsgBox() if There is a Problem.  It Will Only
                Work With LPT1: Because it Calls ISPRINTER().

Etc()         - Use this in Long Loops Where the Each Iteration Takes
                the Same Amount of Time.  It Returns the Estimated Time
                to Completion.

GetJump()     - If a Series of GETs are Active, Pass a Number to This
                Function and JUMP to That GET, Relative to the Beginning.
                (i.e. GetJump(1) Will Go to The First GET)

Make_Empty()  - Will Return an Empty() Value for Whatever Data Type is
                Passed.
