In Turbo Vision, it is the task of Tapplication to initialize drivers and 
the task of Tprogram to detect how it was initialized. This was totally 
messed up; i.e. Tprogram.initscreen is supposed to detect the current 
screen, but people had inserted code into it that did change the screen, 
so they also invented a donescreen. This caused a lot of bugs inside FV 
applications.

With this patch, I brought things back as they should be, all 
intialization/finalization back to Tapplication and Tprogram just detects 
how things are initialized.
