 DISPEND()
 Display buffered screen updates
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

     DISPEND() --> NIL

 Returns

     DISPEND() always returns NIL.

 Description

     DISPEND() is a screen function that informs the CA-Clipper display
     output system that the application has finished performing a series of
     display operations.

     DISPEND() is used with DISPBEGIN() so the display output system can
     buffer display updates.  This can be important for applications in which
     complex screen displays are slow and the appearance of performance is
     desired.

 Examples

     .  This example buffers screen output, updates the screen, and
        then displays the buffered screen output:

        DISPBEGIN()            // Start screen buffering
        //
        SETPOS(10, 10)
        DISPOUT("A display update")
        SETPOS(11, 10)
        DISPOUT("Another display update")
        //
        DISPEND()               // Display buffered screen data

 Files   Library is CLIPPER.LIB.
