 setactivepage()         Set Active Page

 #include   <graphics.h>

 void far   setactivepage(pnum);
 int        pnum;

    setactivepage() selects which screen page 'pnum' is the active one;
    ie., where program graphics are to be placed.  A graphics system may
    have anywhere from one to eight screen page buffers; refer to
    initgraph() for info relating to specific graphics systems. These are
    areas in memory where screen images are stored. If your system has
    more than one graphics page, setactivepage() can be used to designate
    one where a picture can be built "off-screen". When that page is
    selected as the visual screen, using setvisualpage(), that whole
    picture becomes the one that is displayed on the screen.

    Returns:     Nothing.
