 +==== High Intensity and Blink ====
 +The //High Intensity// console attribute behaves as it does with ANSI terminals: that is, once enabled, the current color and any subsequent new colors will be rendered in their "high intensity" (bright) version. To revert to normal/dark colors, a //Normal// (or //Optimized Normal//) Ctrl-A code must be specified. The //Normal// attribute code will reset both the //High Intensity// and the current color - back to the default, "light gray".
 +
 +The //Blink// console attribute behaves similarly: once set, all newly-printed characters will have the blink attribute until a //Normal// attribute code is encountered.
