Hey. I am a relatively new programmer and right now I'm trying to figure
out programming apps in text graphics. I've got everything done, except I
can't figure the blink bit thing. Here's my prob.

I understand how to call int 10 to use bright background colors instead of
blinking text. However, when I use bright background, characters such as
alt-179 (the vertical line for making text windows) doesn't appear in a
bright background. For example, when the background is set to bright white,
my window border doesn't appear even though the foreground color is set to
black.

What's going on? I see that the MS-DOS Editor can do this, so why can't I??

Thanx for your time!
