Comments:               Box has been superseded by the GUIRectangle and ZBox statements, and is maintained for backwards compatibility only.

                             Box is a non-destructive graphic statement that exclusive OR's with the existing background.

Example:

Box(700, 500, 780, 580 { Bounding box },

    1, 0 { Solid line style, one pixel wide },

    9 { Bright blue color });

The example above draws a bright blue box in the lower right-hand corner of the screen.
