 C_EXPLODE()

 DESCRIPTION

 C_EXPLODE() displays a box or a colored rectangle on the screen in
 an "exploding" effect.  The box can explode from any specified box
 coordinates allowing many different effects.  The exploding effect
 can start on the top or bottom, the middle, the right or left
 sides, a corner of the box, or any coordinate in the box.  The
 speed at which the box is drawn can be specified to produce very
 fast or very slow pop-up boxes.

 SYNTAX

 C_EXPLODE(st_row, st_col, end_row, end_col [,exp_row] [,exp_col]
 [,speed] [,box] [,color])

 PARAMETERS

 st_row (N), st_col (N), end_row (N), and end_col (N) define the
 upper left and lower right screen coordinates to draw the exploding
 box.

 exp_row (N) is the starting row coordinate to begin the exploding
 effect.  If exp_row is not specified, the default is the middle row
 of the box.

 exp_col (N) is the starting column coordinate to begin the
 exploding effect.  If exp_col is not specified, the default is the
 middle column of the box.

 speed (N) is the speed (0 = fastest to 99 = slowest) at which the
 box explodes.  If speed is not specified, the default of 0
 (fastest) is used.

 box (N) is the type of box (0-5) to display.  The box types are as
 follows:  0=no box, 1=single box, 2=double box, 3=double top/single
 sides, 4=single top/double sides, and 5=Solid graphics.  If box is
 not specified, box type 2 (double) is used.

 color (C) is the color to display for the box or rectangle.  If
 color is not specified, the current Clipper color is used.

 RETURNS

 There is no return value.
