I was bitten by this early on when writing my opengl terminal --
whatever the original purpose of these commands doesn't seem to fit well
with whatever it was I was trying to do.

I think I now have it that GL_graphics calls GL_resume and GL_suspend
calls GL_text (yes I know this is odd, but GL_graphics does some stuff
before calling GL_resume that only needs to be done once). This seems to
work for both interactive and scripted operation.
