The first line is printed directly, using SPC() to indent.
The rest of the box is calculated implicitly by iterating X and Y from -9 to 9
and testing each for = 9 * SGN(). These boolean results are combined with
boolean and math operators to form a result from 1-4. This selects a character
using MID$("-+ !").
