You shouldn't need to worry about !ORDER. I'm not aware of any modern display
hardware that would use that. The history of !ORDER goes back to the
pre-windows era when image display meant having special vendor-specific display
hardware. You'd sit at your text-based terminal and type in your commands,
and the images would appear on a special (usually 512x512) monitor next to the
terminal. You also had to send images in those days to special printers,
back before laser printers were ubiquitous.
