===== SCREEN TILES WIDTH  =====

===== SYNTAX =====
     = SCREEN TILES WIDTH

==== PURPOSE ====


This function allows you to obtain the width of the current screen, expressed in tiles. 
A tile is a box of pixels that can be addressed elementary by a specific screen code.
Normally, it is used in "text mode", since each box is a character. 
The width depends on the currently selected graphics mode, and it can change at runtime.

There is also a compile-level function for this keyword, which is called when the value 
is used to initialize a constant. In this case, the value is that taken from inspecting 
the instructions at the time of compilation.

It can also be abbreviated to the statement ''TILES WIDTH''.
