Location (LOC) scripts specification
Level-0 simple statements:

| LOCATION | Specifies location name and selects background bitmap and depth mask. It is not necessary for this statement to be the first one in the script. |

| FLAGS | Sets flags declared in LOCALFLAGS. |

| MUSIC | Specifies background music. |
| ENDLOCATION | Tells the parser there is nothing more to read in this location script. |
Level-0 block statements (with brief description):
| ZONE | Declares interactive screen area. |
| ANIMATION | Declares visible animation. |
| COMMENT | Defines text to be displayed in a balloon when the location is accessed for the first time. |
