The
PAP
E
RIP
E
NI
INK
relationships given
in
Table 2
are
not fixed however. They
are
the
default
settings
when
you switch-on or
reset
the
computer. You can change
them
by using
the
INK
command. The command
has
two
parts
(or 'parameters'). The first
part
is
the
number
of
the
PA
PER
or
PEN
that
you
are
going to fill with ink, and the
second
part
is
the
colour of
the
ink
itself. The two
parts
of the command are separated
by a comma ,
So,
now
that
we
know
that
we
are
using
PEN
number 1 , let's change the colour
ofthe
INK
in
that
pen, to orange.
Type in:
ink
1,
1 5
[RETURN]
....
and
you will see
that
the
characters on
the
screen have changed colour.
The background colour
can
also
be
changed using
the
INK
command.
We
know
that
PAP
E R
number
0 is selected
at
switch on,
so
let's change the colour of
the
INK
in
PA
PER
number
0 to green (colour
number
9) by typing
in
the command:
ink
111,9
[RETURN]
Now let's use a different pen altogether. Type in:
pen
3
[RETURN]
Notice how only
the
colour of
the
new characters (after the command) changes.
You're
using
PEN
number
3 now,
and
you will see from Tables 1 and 2
that
the
INK
initially loaded into
PEN
number
3 is colour number 6 (bright red). Change
it
to pink
by typing in:
ink
3,
1 6
[RETURN]
Remember, 3 is the colour of
the
pen
that
you selected earlier with
the
command:
pen
3,
and
that
1 6 is
the
ink
colour -pink.
