The inconguity was intentional. I was going to call it SetDisplay(), but
then it seemed like:
SetDisplay(1)
should set the display to show the value 1. I felt that "select" did a
better job conveying the fact that there are 7 different display modes and
you select one of them.
I'm not saying that this is a "great" argument, or that the naming is
ideal...just that there was at least some thinking behind it. What I'd
really like is a bytecode to allow us to do a real SetDisplay()!
