New in PV-WAVE 3.1, it is very easy to obtain the size of the screen. This
information is stored in a structure "!display_size". This feature is
documented in the new PV-WAVE Technical Reference Manual. Note that you
need to execute some graphics command (ie. loadct, window, etc.) to assign
the information from the X server to the variable.

PRINT,!DISPLAY_SIZE
;{ 0 0}

Execute some graphic command to assign values to the structure
LOADCT,0

PRINT,!DISPLAY_SIZE
;{ 1152 900}

PRINT,'Display Size: X =',!DISPLAY_SIZE.X,' Y =',!DISPLAY_SIZE.Y
;Display Size: X = 1152 Y = 900
