[net.micro.apple] Apple Pascal

There are two ways to put your Apple into inverse video mode from Pascal:

1.  This seems to apply only if you are running with HAS LOWER CASE=FALSE
    in your SYSTEM.MISCINFO.  This is the default value and is appropriate
    for an Apple II+.  Inverse video can be used to represent upper case
    letters, with normal video for lower case.  On the //e, this mode
    should be disabled by running SETUP and setting HAS LOWER CASE=TRUE.

2.  This applies if you are using a //e with the Apple 80-column card.  
    If a program writes CTRL-O to the CONSOLE:, it enables inverse video.
    To turn off inverse video, send a CTRL-N.  These codes are not
    operative if typed in from the keyboard; they must be written by
    a program.  (Possibly the program echoed back what you typed?)
