A slightly confusingly named function that takes a passed escape sequence
and an on/off flag and returns the blinking/non-blinking version of the
escape sequence accordingly. It can thus be used to "unblink" a blinking
escape sequence to ensure easier to read display or to "blink" an unblinking
escape sequence. To illustrate usage try the small code fragment below:

  Declare Function HighLight
  Equ Off$ To 0
  Equ On$  To 1
  NonBlink = \1B\ : "C1N"
  Blink    = \1B\ : "C9N"
  Print NonBlink : "NonBlink Normal"
  Print Blink : "Blink Normal"
  Print Highlight(NonBlink, Off$) : "NonBlink Off"
  Print Highlight(NonBlink, On$)  : "NonBlink On"
  Print Highlight(Blink, Off$) : "Blink Off"
  Print Highlight(Blink, On$) : "Blink On"
  Call Input.Char(X)
