SINCE THE CM-8 MONITOR DOES NOT DISPLAY ARTIFACT COLORS WOULD IT BE FEASIBLE TO USE PMODE 3 AND CHANGE THE PALETTE COLORS OF THE PMODE3 GRAPHICS TO MATCH THE RED,WHITE,BLUE, AND BLACK OF PMODE4 ? I DON'T HAVE AN RGB MONITOR SO I CAN'T TRY IT. VIC RICKER

If CLEAR was pressed, then the pogram was to use PMODE3 graphics instead of PMODE4. I have an RGB (CM-8, but just traded for a Magnavox 8CM515..), but have NOT tried it.. Mostly, I 'os9' ...
