* "allon" fills all panels in a lineup/wall with char(144), i.e. the reverse of "clear". * "allon" fills all panels in a lineup/wall, up to a max of 2048 of them, with char(144), i.e. the reverse of "clear".
* "start_scroll" starts the automatic scrolling function, repeatedly moving the last displayed message to the left one character space each time the scroll timer runs out (and automatically restarting it, natch).

As it advances through the message, the scroll code will search through the message for a printable character, on each scroll step, basically stripping-out color code, and using just the last one before the new start position. This is done in order to keep a constant visible speed (the text will still be colored properly though).
