Point is a function. That is, it returns a value. 

V = point(x,y)

The value of V will depend on the screen mode and on the color of the 
pixel at x,y on the screen. 

0,0 is the upper left corner of the screen in all modes. 

In some modes you only get a true or false (0 or -1?) value because 
there are only two colors possible. In others you get the color value 
for the point.

DEtails beyond that require having the manuals handy or a CoCo to 
test things on, and I don't have either handy.
