Lots of updates!

The latest build of the codebase introduces some new things:

1) Variable width GEOS BSW font.  It just looks good.
2) Uppercase characters.  It just looks good...too.
3) *I command.   Allows you to save bitmaps to another file to be [I]ncluded in your page file.  Great for making pages consistent.  (You can use it for other things as well, but bitmaps are a great use)
4) Code refactoring (always), with a focus on doing things in a more object oriented manner.  This is a precursor to developing widget components.

Known issues:

*S (scaling) has been temporarily disabled.  This will return soon.  Basically all of the font rendering code was ripped out and replaced when we went to the variable width font.

The 64 version must be leaking memory somewhere because it gets to a point and then just stops or (worse) returns to BASIC.  This is top priority for a fix.
