 SAYSPREAD()
 Displays screen output with "spread" effect
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

     SAYSPREAD(<cCharacterstring>, [<nDelay>],
        [<nLine>], [<nColumn>]) --> cNull

 Arguments

     <cCharacterstring>  Designates the string to output with the spread
     effect.

     <nDelay>  Designates a time delay in milliseconds.  The default
     value
     is 4.

     <nLine>  Designates the line from which the output begins.  The
     default is the cursor line.

     <nColumn>  Designates the column from which the output begins.  The
     default is the cursor column.

 Returns

     SAYSPREAD() always returns a null string.

 Description

     SAYSPREAD() has a particular effect on a string output to screen.  From
     a center point, which corresponds to the center of the screen, window or
     <nColumn>, characters are displayed outward (they have a type of spread
     effect).  The SET COLOR TO attribute setting is used.  The current
     cursor position is not changed with this function.

 Note

     .  Control characters, as with @...SAY commands in CA-Clipper are
        not interpreted.

 Example

     Show special effect output that begins in the middle of the screen or
     window at line 10, with a 100-millisecond time delay:

     SAYSPREAD("Characters", 100, 10)

     Output will be in the following steps, but always on the same line:

               ac
              ract
             aracte
            haracter
           Characters         // Result on line 10
