[Coco] Example basic code for screen grid

[Bill]

I ran it on VCC, and it works fine.

Ok - this is going completely from memory, plus a little help from the 
CoCo 3 Extended Basic manual - but it should give you a start:

10 PMODE 4,1
20 PCLS
30 SCREEN 1,1
40 FOR Y=0 TO 191 STEP 8
50 FOR X=0 TO 255 STEP 8
60 REM LINE(X,Y)-(X+8,Y+8),PSET,BF: REM FILLED WITH WHITE
70 REM LINE(X,Y)-(X+8,Y+8),PRESET,BF: REM FILLED WITH BLACK
80 LINE(X,Y)-(X+8,Y+8),PSET,B: REM UNFILLED (WHITE GRID)
90 NEXT X
100 NEXT Y
110 GOTO 110

I don't know if it works; I don't have an emulator or my machine set 
up... :(
