Add proper 40-80 column support for Apple II #8

It would be nice to be able to switch between 40 and 80 columns within Eightball scripts. Maybe implement a mode statement:

mode 40      ; 40 columns!!
mode 80      ; 80 columns!!

Added mode 40 and mode 80 commands to the interpreter only for Apple II. Working out some other display quirks.

Removed some of the special case code that handles the backspace key. The conio functions for positioning the cursor do not seem to work in 80 column mode anyhow.

Will do for now. At least it is a few bytes smaller :)
