By Chris Cromer

 

configure.screen(a, b, c);

a = 1 (minimum line number for print);

b - user input line;

c - status line.

show.pri.screen();

show.obj(n);

In the center at the bottom of the screen a cel 0 of loop 0 of the VIEW resource n is shown. In the center of the screen, a message associated with the VIEW resource is printed.

Notes:
That's what they say but I suspect they mean OBJECT n, not VIEW resource.

Actually, in this case the argument does refer to the VIEW resource. This is because the VIEW in question isn't meant to be a controlled object but instead is simply the picture and textual description of the an inventory item.
