[Coco] Back to BASIC

[Steve Strowbridge]

Thanks for the scratch tip Salvador.

Chapter 19 is now on-line going over the CIRCLE command, and expanding upon
a DIY graphics demo that's taking all the graphics commands we're learning
and doing random graphics on the screen.

I'm going to try and throw together another DIY program to better
demonstrate and visualize all the cool things you can do with the CIRCLE
command later today.
