[Rd] documentation for argument to screen (PR#9085)

[Douglas Grove]

The reason I noticed this is that I do not know how
the screens are numbered.

And for future reference, is there a source that documents
how to create a patch for documentation or source code?
I have never made a patch but I would like to be able
to do this in the future.

Thanks,
Doug
