Classification:	Custom image primitive
Command Syntax:	PAGE <color> <width> <height> <x> <y> <fontname>
	<character>
Limits:	<color> = available colors
	<width> = width of page in pixels
	<height> = height of page in lines
	<x> = position of left edge of page in pixels
	<y> = position of top edge of page in pixels
	<fontname> = available fonts
	<character> = code number of character

Query Syntax:	None
Description:	Fills a rectangular area (page or block) with a character that
	repeats horizontally and vertically. The <color> parameter sets
	the color used to draw the character. The <width> and <height>
	parameters determine the size of the block to be filled. The <x>
	and <y> parameters determine the top left corner of the block.
	The <fontname> parameter selects which font is used to draw
	the character. The <character> parameter selects a specific
	character (by number). For full alphanumeric fonts, the character
	number is the same as the character’s ASCII code number. The
	spacing between the characters is fixed by the character block
	size in the font and cannot be changed. Partial characters are
	not drawn to completely fill the rectangular area. Rather, the
	largest possible block of full characters is centered in the
	rectangular area.
Other Required Cmds:	None
