1.12 MS-DOS

Summary: The following is a description of enhancements that were made in Version 1.12: 1. If FOREGROUND-COLOR and/or BACKGROUND-COLOR are used in the same elementary screen item as the BLANK screen clause, the colors chosen become the default colors for all following screen items that do not explicitly define colors. 2. If the BLANK SCREEN clause is not present in an elementary screen item, colors chosen are in effect only for the current elementary screen item. Later items will use the default colors, which are normally black and white. 3. If REVERSE-VIDEO is used in an elementary screen item, the values of the foreground and background colors are switched.
