Details
Bits that are set to one cause the corresponding line to be write-protected.
The binary equivalent of mask indicates the mask to be set for the I/O port. For example, a mask
value of 7 has a binary equivalent of 00000000000111. This mask write-protects lines 1, 2, and 3.
Example
digio.writeprotect = 15
Write-protects lines 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Details
This function switches to the user screen and then clears the front-panel display.
The display.clear(), display.setcursor(), and display.settext() functions are
overlapped commands. That is, the script does not wait for one of these commands to complete.
These functions do not immediately update the display. For performance considerations, they update
the display as soon as processing time becomes available.
