I know what you mean, but your wording may be a bit confusing. The blink bit is the same bit in the background nibble as the bright foreground bit in the foreground nibble. Blinking should work if your font has 256 or less characters in it. If you have from 257 through 512 characters in your font then the blink capability is lost as one of the bits in the background nibble needs to be used in order to have a 9-bit font offset. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
