Word 4.0 has a feature found in the Command Commands section called
"Screen Test." When installed it appears in the Utilities menu and upon
activation it turns the screen black and starts a series of patterns,
a la Moire, across the screen. On a color monitor, it automatically
changes color.

Does anybody know why Microsoft included this in the program? I have
not been able to find any mention of it in the docs, and the company
reps have not responded to my questions on Compu$erve.

Thanks for your help. For a good time try holding down the command key
and clicking on the "W" in "About Microsoft Word" under the apple menu.
