Character Attributes Commands
Characters can be set to inverse video, blinking, reduced intensity, or under-
lined. Also, the cursor can be turned off. These attributes are activated by send-
ing a 3-byte escape sequence to the console output:
Escape sequence = ESC <on-oft-code> <attribute-code>
where:
1) ESC is an ascii 27 (1 B hex)
2) <on-off-code> is a:
'B' to set an attribute ON, or
'C' to set it OFF.
3) <attribute-code> has a value of 0 through 4, as follows:
o =
inverse video,
1
=
reduced intensity,
2
=
blinking,
3
=
underline,
4
=
cursor.
Default for these attributes is:

from B to A; it will be a mirror image.
3) Graphics characters, pixels, and lines cannot write over normal characters.
