I thought I'd play around a bit with non-standard uses of the TYPE
functionality. Attached is two files, ezscreen.e and b24.ex

ezscreen.e has some weird uses of 'type'. This is strictly experimental and
I not promoting anything here.

It allows things like...

  Row = 5
  Col = 7
  ScreenText = "Hello, World!"

to move the cursor to line 5, column 7 and display some text.

Both Row and Col can use negative numbers to move backwards.

   Row = -2   -- Move up two rows

or they can use the Current_Row/Current_Column syntax.

   Col = Current_Column + 7  -- Move right 7 places.
or Last_Row/Last_Column

   Row = Last_Row - 2  -- Move to the third last line.

ScreenText can handle strings, integers, floating numbers and formatting
instructions.

   ScreenText = 5  -- Display "5"

   ScreenText = 3.142 -- Display "3.14200"

   ScreenText = {"The answer, %s, is %d", {"Derek", 42}}

b24.ex is another way of doing the "Sorting Numbers" problem using the
include file above.

This is just for fun stuff, nothing serious.
