Yes, it works, but this:

        short pxyarray[4];
        short attrib[5];

        vqf_attributes(vdi_handle, attrib);
        vswr_mode(vdi_handle, MD_REPLACE);
        vsf_interior(vdi_handle, 0);

        pxyarray[0] = 0;
        pxyarray[1] = 0;
        pxyarray[2] = screen.w;
        pxyarray[3] = screen.h;
        vr_recfl(vdi_handle, pxyarray);

        vsf_interior(vdi_handle, attrib[0]);
        vswr_mode(vdi_handle, attrib[3]);


Is a bit longer than just:

	v_clrwk(vdi_handle);


vr_recfl() affects just the current virtual workstation takes clipping into
account.  Both good things on multitasking AES, but for simple VDI test
programs it seems a bit overkill. :-)
