screen
When the
CALL
SCREEN
is
performed. the entire screen
background changes
to
the color specified by the color-code.
All
characters on the screen remain the
same
unless you have specified
a transparent foreground
or
background color for them. In that
case, the screen color "shows through" the transparent foreground
or background.
The
screen
is
set
to
cyan
(code
8)
when
a
program
stops
for
a
breakpoint or terminates.
If
you
CONTINUE
a program after a
breakpoint, the
screen
is reset to the
standard
color (light green).
