Other things can be included, such as choice between blinking or 16 background colors, saving to DATA statements, better support for 80x25, 80x43, 80x50 or more etc.
Unfortunately I'm not the best programmer to program something like this myself.
Not sure if anyone already has or uses such a program? Currently I am using TheDRAW from a DOSBOX.
See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheDraw

in the links poor description of the program and about what it does!
here you can see that it had been built with TurboPascal and Assembly languages... so it is not too hard trying to build it by QB64!

and here the software emulated in dosbox on browser...
