COMMAND: The INK and BORDER commands allow two colours to be associated with each Ink, in
which case the INK alternates between the two colours. The first integer expression) specifies the
time for the first INK specified to be used, and the second integer expression sets the time for the
second INK . Times between colour changes are measured in units of l/50 second. (50 Hz mains
versions)
You must exercise careful judgement to avoid mesmeric effects when selecting colours and repeat
rates!
