func movie (draw_frame, time_limit, min_interframe, bracket_time)
/* DOCUMENT 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 <RETURN> 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 <RETURN> 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.
