DESCRIPTION
The :cj_ds_pen command partially automates the display of
the drawing contents by pen number. If "color" is speci-
fied, all items drawn in pens 1 through 15 will be displayed
simultaneously, using colors number 1 through 15 to
represent the pens respectively.
If "pen number" is specified, then the desired pen number (0
through 15) is entered and all items drawn with that pen
will be displayed.
If "range" is specified, prompts for the minimum and maximum
pen numbers are presented. The screen will then be cleared
and the items drawn in pens "min" through "max" will be
displayed sequentially, waiting for <CR> to be pressed
between each pen.
In all cases, when the pen display is completed, the user is
given the choice of redisplaying the original screen or
leaving the display in its current state.
