AREV Specific

I am trying to use Paint to change a prompt (Protected, bound to a symbolic, label is hidden) to blinking text. I have tried the suggestions in previous threads on here but to no effect (Am using V3.11),

Any help appreciated,

Regards,

Simon

I'm not sure what was suggested here. Have you tried creating another symbolic that concatenates the blink code to the beginning of the field?

Victor,

I've tried various options, what particular 'blink code' were you suggesting ??

Try something like this:

VAL=Your actual value goes here'

@ANS=CHAR(27):'C87':VAL

I just tried this, and it works in Arev 2.12. I expect it to work in your version as well. Bear in mind that Windows usually does not render a DOS blink as a blink but as something else. You may have to go full screen ASCII mode in order to see the blink.

Hi Victor,

Thanks for that. Spot on on the full screen mode, big shame that though as would like it to show in Dos Box mode as well.

I couldnt ask a favour and query what the code would be for flashing light yellow on blue background to save me some time

Does anyone else have any ideas on the possibility of this working in a Dos box at all ???

Regards,

Simon
