 This program demonstrates how to move a window around the screen using
 the cursor keys. It can be compiled with PowerBasic 3.0 and newer (or
 with 2.1 if you emulate VIEW TEXT).
 Moving a window takes three steps:
   1. Get direction to move
   2. Restore old background at old place
   3. Write window at new position
 We do not restore the whole window-sized background but only the part that
 becomes visible after the window moved. That means, only one row or column
 must be restored. This is more difficult to do for the programmer, but much
 faster. Else the screen could be flickering when the window is being moved.
 You can end the program with ESC or RETURN (try both).
