The AES provides graphical user interface functions:

  Application - initialization and interprocess communication
  Event       - wait for user response
  Menu        - create or modify drop-down menu
  Object      - display or modify object trees
  Form        - user interaction with dialogs & error messages
  Graphics    - special mouse functions
  Window      - window frame interface
  Resource    - resource files
  Scrap       - interprocess cut & paste operations
  Shell       - AES shell functions
  File Select - standard file selector

appl_init() must be called before any other AES or VDI function.
appl_exit() must be called before terminating the application.

AES functions are implemented using TRAP #2 instructions.
Register D0 must contain $C8 and D1 must contain a pointer to the
AESPB structure which is used to pass the parameters.

_crystal() can be used to implement new bindings.
vq_aes() can be used to determine if AES is available.
