Thanks to Hans-Bernhard Broeker for clarifying the cast mechanism for me. 
Now I realize what I want to do is declare a pointer named "screen" and set
its address to zero (so I can recognize this bogus value in a test).  I
believe this is referred to as a "null" pointer, even though there really is
a value of zero.

This has got to be some real basic thing I've missed along the way.
