- This program provides several functions that would normally be separate
- commands. The intent is to provide as many simple functions as possible
- within a 2K .COM file rather than many 1K/.5K .COM files.
-
- Note: Only the first two characters of any parameter is checked.

-
- NUm:
-
- Change (toggle) the Num Lock state. ON sets Num Lock on and OFf Num Lock
- off. The is no default.
-
- CAp:
-
- Change (toggle) the Caps Lock state. ON sets Caps Lock on and OFf Caps Lock
- off. There is no default.
-
- MOno:
-
- Switch the active display to the monochrome display on systems that have a
- monochrome display. This will cause the monochrome display to be cleared.
-
- COlor:
-
- Switch the active monitor to the color display on systems that have a color
- display. 40 or 80 will set the column width. This will cause the color
- display to be cleared. There is no default.
-
- SWap:
-
- Switch (toggle) the active display to the currently inactive display on
- systems that have both displays. This is the same as issuing a MOno or
- COlor 80. This will toggle in 80 column mode only.
-
- DIal:
-
- DIal command by itself will hang up the phone and drop data terminal ready.
- DIal followed by a T or P will "touch tone (T)" or "rotary (P)" dial the
- telephone number following the T or P. DIal will also initialize the modem
- to 1200 baud so the Hayes will recognize the command. This will not work
- with non Hayes compatible modems.
-
- BEep:
-
- Sounds the speaker. This can be used in a BAT to indicate end of job for
- example.
-
- WAit:
-
- Causes the PC to wait for N seconds before continuing. This number should
- not exceed 3000. To wait longer use multiple WAit multiple times.
-
- SEtcolor:
-
- Format of the input parameters is shown below:
-
- SEtcolor XIYIZI [ and followed immediately by the optional mode # ].
-
- Where 'X' is the foreground color, 'Y' is the background color and 'Z' is
- the border color.
-
- The following letters are the valid input characters that are substituted
- for 'X', 'Y' and 'Z':
-
- The letter Z or z is used for BLACK, the letter B or b is used for BLUE,
- the letter G or g is used for GREEN, the letter C or c is used for CYAN,
- the letter R or r is used for RED, the letter M or m is used for MAGENTA,
- the letter Y or y is used for YELLOW and the letter W or w is used for
- WHITE.
-
- The following letters are the valid input characters that are substituted
- for 'I':
-
- The letter L or l is used for Low Intensity, the letter H or h is used
- for High Intensity.
-
- INPUT EXAMPLES:
-
- The 40x25 B&W or COLOR and the 80x25 B&W or COLOR modes have the same input
- format. The GRAPHICS modes have input formats different from the ALPHA
- modes.
-
- SEtcolor WHZLZL [ 0 or 1 ] <cr>
-
- Puts the color display adapter into the 40 x 25 ALPHA COLOR MODE.
-
- [H]igh Intensity [W]hite foreground, [L]ow Intensity [Z]Black background
- and [L]ow Intensity [Z]Black border.
-
- SEtcolor WHBHRL [ 2 or 3 ] <cr>
-
- Puts the color display adapter into the 80 x 25 ALPHA COLOR MODE.
-
- [H]igh Intensity [W]hite foreground, [H]igh Intensity [B]lue background
- and [L]ow Intensity [R]ed border.
-
- SEtcolor GHZLZL6 <cr>
-
- Puts the color display adapter into the 640 x 200 "B & W" GRAPHICS MODE.
-
- [H]igh Intensity [G]reen foreground, [L]ow Intensity [Z]Black background
- and [L]ow Intensity [Z]Black border. The background and border are dummy
- parameters.
-
- SEtcolor ZLBHZH4 <cr>
-
- Puts the color display adapter into the 320 x 200 COLOR GRAPHICS MODE.
-
- An analysis of the Input Parameter Format for the 320 x 200 graphics modes
- is required to understand the result of the above entry will produce.
-
- The 320 x 200 B & W or COLOR GRAPHICS ENTRY FORMAT
-
- The (Z) represents a dummy parameter. It serves only to prevent the error
- message, " ERROR IN THE INPUT STRING".
-
- SEtcolor X I Y I (Z) I [ optional mode set, either 4 or 5 ]
-
- SEtcolor X............ The 'X' parameter of the foreground color can be
- any of the the Valid Input Characters as listed under the heading INPUT
- PARAMETER FORMAT. Letters Z, B, G, C, repeat the results produced by
- typing the letters, R, M, Y, W.
-
- 'Z' through 'C' as well as 'R' through 'W' represent colors 0 - 3.
-
- SEtcolor ..I.......... 'I' can be either 'H' or 'L'.
-
- If 'H' is substituted for 'I' in the 'I' parameter of 'X', then the
- background color is equal to the background color + 16 as in BASIC.
-
- SEtcolor ....Y I...... Is the "standard" way of entering a background
- color.
-
- SEtcolor ........(Z) I 'I' can be either 'H' or 'L'.
-
- If 'H' is substituted for 'I' in the 'I' parameter of (Z), then PALETTE
- one(1) is selected.
-
- If 'L' is substituted for 'I' in the 'I' parameter of (Z), then PALETTE
- zero(0) is selected.
