## Comments:

      SCREEN switches into videomode xxx (INT10/11xx/000).
      Some newer graphics cards may not have 8x14 fonts in the BIOS. In that
      case, a driver can be loaded to load a suitable font in RAM, but
      SCREEN=0x11 should not be used. If xx is less than 15 (0x0f), it is
      treated as screen mode number, for example 1 for CGA 40x25 color text
      or 7 for monochrome text.
      SCREEN is a command internal to kernel.sys and needs no other file
      in order to work.
