*{color} (KEYIN and DISPLAY)


MNSI

*{color}

 

This list control activates the designated color control on those terminals capable of supporting colors. The color keywords are:

 

*RED

 

*BLUE

 

*BLACK

(or Default CRT background color)

*WHITE

 

*GREEN

 

*YELLOW

Displays as BROWN on most monitors unless *DION is also in effect.

*CYAN

 

*MAGENTA

 

Underlining and color support are mutually exclusive if the runtime is using the default eight bit character attribute size. Switching the attribute size to sixteen bits by way of either the SETMODE *SAVECHARSIZE control or the PLB_SAVECHARSIZE runtime keyword permits combinations of color and underlining.
