The documentation is written for anybody who already knows C
programming on other computers, and who wants to learn how to use
this on TI. For such people, the documentation is already in
layman's terms. But, for novices, it is not enough. If I want to
write a documentation for novices, it should to be 10 times larger,
but I really have not so much time.

Try to read what is written in the FAQ.

Use GrayMode(GRAY_ON) and GrayMode(GRAY_OFF) to turn the grayscale mode
on or off. Use SetPlane(LIGHT_PLANE) to force all drawings in light
gray, and SetPlane(DARK_PLANE) to force drawing in dark gray. To draw in
black, draw the same picture in both planes.

Read the description of ngetchx in kbd.h carefully.
