  Example of Using Character Attribute Combinations:

         To display a GREEN foreground on a BLUE background.

                Type:
                       ^A1A Your Text ^n

         Displays as:    Your Text 

               Where:
                       ^A      Specifies a character attribute.
                         1     Specifies a background of BLUE.
                          A    Specifies a foreground of GREEN.

         To return the screen to normal color. Use the ^n normal attribute.


         To display a  GREEN  foreground on a WHITE background.

                Type:
                       ^A7A Your Text ^n

         Displays as:    Your Text 

               Where:
                       ^A      Specifies a character attribute.
                         7     Specifies a background of WHITE.
                          A    Specifies a foreground of GREEN.

        To return the screen to normal color. Use the ^n normal attribute.

  Note:
         Graphics cards in 16 color EGA mode do not allow background
         colors to display in high intensity (^A8 and greater). The
         use of the high intensity attribute with background colors
         will cause the display to blink.
