                 movie, draw_frame
              or movie, draw_frame, time_limit
              or movie, draw_frame, time_limit, min_interframe

         runs a movie based on the given DRAW_FRAME function.  The movie
         stops after a total elapsed time of TIME_LIMIT seconds, which
         defaults to 60 (one minute), or when the DRAW_FRAME function
         returns zero.
         func draw_frame(i)
         {
           // Input argument i is the frame number.
           // draw_frame should return non-zero if there are more
           // frames in this movie.  A zero return will stop the
           // movie.
           // draw_frame must NOT include any fma command if the
           // making_movie variable is set (movie sets this variable
           // before calling draw_frame)
         }
         If MIN_INTERFRAME is specified, a pauses will be added as
         necessary to slow down the movie.  MIN_INTERFRAME is a time
         in seconds (default 0).
         The keyword bracket_time= (again a time in seconds) can be
         used to adjust the duration of the pauses after the first
         and last frames.  It may also be a two element array [beg, end].
         If the pause at the end is greater than five seconds, you will
         be prompted to explain that hitting  will abort the final
         pause.
         If every frame of your movie has the same limits, use the
         limits command to fix the limits before you call movie.
       BUG:  If you hit  to start a movie early, it will not
             pause at the end of the movie at all.  You probably should
    	 not use long initial pauses.
