SPREAD()

    SPREAD() lets you display a character string on the screen from the
    middle out.  If this does not make sense, try it for yourself. It is
    simple, yet slick.  The syntax is as follows:

    SPREAD(<string>, <row> [, <delay>,<column>])

    Required Parameters

    <string> is the character string to display.

    <row> is an integer numeric representing the row at which to display it.

    Optional Parameters

    <delay> is a numeric integer to delay the effect.  The default delay
    setting is 8. Experiment with this until you find one that you like.

    <column> is a numeric integer specifying the column at which to
    spread the string out from (the default is 40).

    Return Value

    Nothing, but isn't the dazzling spread effect enough?!

    Sample usage

    SPREAD("This will get their attention!    12)
    SPREAD("This will be drawn slowly    14, 100)
