You can't. Screen 12 is a VGA screen mode. In order to get screen mode
12 resolution (640x480) with 256+ colors, you have to switch to Super
VGA. QuickBasic doesn't support SVGA, but there are shareware libraries
(SVGAQB from Zephyr Software, for instance) that will let you use SVGA
modes (the regular QuickBasic graphics commands will not work, though).
Also, you could try ModeX. This uses Screen 13, with 256 colors, but
allows you to go up to higher resolutions with multiple video memory
pages (the highest resolution I have gotten is 320x400). Download the
July 1996 All Basic Code packet from one of the ABC home pages (search
for it on Webcrawler). There are many ModeX examples.
