Chapter 3: Special Features

3.1 Reverse Video

The Reverse Video feature is used to automatically generate a box, using the current
foreground color, on top of text. This creates text that is the background color, and is done
by setting the "AI" (Attribute Index) field to a "2" in the Format Entry command ("^Fn)"). The
box can be increased in size by simply overlaying the desired area with a line using the Line
Draw feature. The Line Draw format line should be placed before the Reverse Video field to
increase the size of the overlaying box.
Auto Reverse Video Example:
