For the color TCS, the following additional features affect the Region commands:
•
Commands that cause characters to be displayed normally use the current foreground,
background, and conceal color attributes. However, there are several controls that can affect
how and when these attributes are used. Refer to Set Character Attributes Command in
Chapter 5 for details.
•
Commands that cause characters to be erased use a space character in the current background
color and turn off the highlight, underline, blink, reverse-video, and concealed attributes for
each erased character.
NOTE
Where applicable, command names are followed by the appropriate mnemonic. Mnemonics in square
brackets [] are ANSI-specified commands. Mnemonics in braces {} are ANSI-compatible, TCS-private
commands. Mnemonics in parentheses () are ANSI-compatible, DEC- private commands.
