Hilite Color Attribute

[Whittall, Conrad]

Terry,

The color options in the HILITE statement are only acted upon if you are
running QUICK on one of the supported types of color terminal -- or a
terminal emulator which correctly emulates one of those supported color
terminals. The color terminals supported by QUICK include HP2397, HP700/98,
VT241 and VT340.

Unfortunately, the Reflection 2 package only supports emulation of text
terminals, such as the VT320, which were monochrome. You can configure
Reflection (as I do myself) to display the different monochrome emphasis
styles (halftone, inverse, blinking) in different colors, but you can't use
QUICK to control the actual colors used...just the emphasis.

The "Reflection for ReGIS Graphics" product does provide emulation of the
VT340 and VT241 graphics terminals (amongst others), which would allow QUICK
to correctly control the color of the displayed text, line drawing, etc.,
as specified by your HILITE <color> ON <color> statements. Details of this
version of Reflection can be found on the WRQ web site, at
http://www.wrq.com/products/dsheets/rgdata.htm.

Best regards,

Conrad
