  69.  
  70.      Normally 3by5  writes  directly  to  video  ram  for  fast  updating of
  71.      the screen.  This method of updating the screen creates screen noise on
  72.      some equipment (e.g. an IBM PC with a color  graphics card).   If there
  73.      is  considerable  noise  on  your  screen  during editing, set the Slow
  74.      display option to "Y"  for yes.   All screen  output will  be slowed to
  75.      reduce noise on the screen.
  76.  
  77.  
  78.  
  79.      COLOR COMMANDS
  80.  
  81.      The  Color  Commands  are  used  to  adjust  the  color  of the screen.
  82.      These commands may be used if you do not have a color  monitor, but the
  83.      results are unpredictable.  
  84.  
  85.  
  86.      After  you  have  specified  the  speed  of screen display, the program
  87.      will then prompt you for the Background color:
  88.  
  89.       Slow display (Y/N): N   Background color: A Foreground color: H
  90.       Background codes: (A - H)
  91.  
  92.  
  93.      Only codes A through H may be used for the background code.   Press the
  94.      code letter you want to select and the program will then prompt you for
  95.      the Foreground Color (i.e. the color of the letters):
  96.  
  97.  
  98.       Slow display (Y/N): N   Background color: A Foreground color: H
  99.       Foreground codes: (A - P)
  100.  
  101.  
  102.      Press the code letter of the  color you  want to  select for  the fore-
  103.      ground color  of the  window.  If  the background and foreground colors
  104.      you selected are the same, the program will inform you that they cannot
  105.      be the same color (the characters would not be visible) and you will be
  106.      asked to repeat your selection.
  107.  
  108.      NOTE: You may use the  AUTO3BY5  file  to  specify  the  default colors
  109.      and display speed (3by5 and 3by5 Plus).
