HBLINDOPEN()

    HBLINDOPEN() displays a pre-saved screen using a horizontal blinds

    When you want to restore the screen with the horizontal blinds
    effect, use HBLINDOPEN() like so:

    HBLINDOPEN(<screen file> [, <delay>])

    Required Parameter

    <screen file> is the name of the file containing the saved screen.

    Optional Parameter

    <delay> is a numeric expression representing the delay factor to use
    in opening the drapes.  Values between 5 and 50 are recommended.
    The default is 15.
