OSBYTE &71 (113) - Select Main/Shadow for Display hardware

       X=0 Use whatever the default for the current mode is
       X=1 Use main memory
       X=2 Use shadow memory
   (Risc OS 1.00)
   The value of X can be greater than 2 as well, and instructs the video
   hardware to use the bank at screenbase+(X*modesize)

This call specifies which bank of memory the Master video display hardware access. Using this and OSBYTE &70 a program can use the VDU to write to one bank of memory while the other is being displayed.
