     When you run STRING ART, a fascinating pattern will weave itself across 
the screen.  Once the pattern is completed, you can press a function key to 
"zoom-in" or "zoom-out" 20% at a time until only a small section of the pattern 
is displayed or until the pattern becomes a mere speck on the screen.  Other 
function keys let you change the pattern's color.  If you press a key other 
than a function key or wait 15 seconds before pressing anything, the program 
will proceed to another pattern.  Consult the on-screen instructions for STRING 
ART's commands.  

     STRING ART generates its patterns by creating an irregular polygon, then 
"folding" it a random number of times at evenly spaced intervals.  It is inter-
esting to note that the program draws the patterns in COLOR on the HIGH RESOLU-
TION screen.  We bet you thought it couldn't be done.  In fact, IBM's BASIC 3.0
manual (Item #6361132), page 313, first paragraph; SAYS it can't be done.  But
we don't let little things like THAT stop us.  

     Enough technical talk.  Run the program... a little hi-tech cloud watching 
is good for the soul.
