The palette block number can be changed by the INIT command.
Ex)
INIT ''CRT:B1'' — Changes the palette block number to 1.
The numbers belonging to the current palette block can be used as the palette codes in commands and
statements. Some commands and statements have a parameter which specifies a palette code or colour
code. The numbers belonging to the current palette block number are recognized as the palette codes,
while the other numbers are recognized as the colour codes.
The following example will help you understand the above explanation.
