===== TEXTS OUTPUT DISPLAY ALL PEN COLORS (USING PEN) =====

==== PURPOSE ====
 This example shows the entire collection of colors that can be used as a pen to color texts. Thanks to the variable ''PEN COLORS'', it is possible to iterate between the first color (0) to the last one and to draw a text with a specific color index, by using the command ''PEN''.  

==== SOURCE CODE ====
   
      CLS
   
      FOR index=0 TO PEN COLORS - 1
         PEN index
         PRINT "PEN NUMBER ";index
      NEXT
