I',m getting a little rusty (I just can't seem to remember all of
the interrupt calls, with the appropriate register assignments)

Get number of columns on the display
Get number of rows on the display
Set scroll window to (0, 0) and (columns-1, rows-1)
Set display attribute to grey on black (as if everyone still
	has a Monochrome Display Adapter)
Scroll (either up or down, it makes no difference)the entire window

Pretty simple.  For my CLS routine, instead of using the brain-dead
method of grey on black for the text attributes, I first get the
character *AND ATTRIBUTE* at the current cursor location, which I
then use as the display attribute.

Sorry that I can't supply more information regarding graphics modes,
but I have not done any graphics programming for a VERY long time.
