TILE x, y [,foreground] [,background] [,nbr_tiles_wide] [,nbr_tiles_high]
Sets the colour for one or more tiles on the screen.
When in monochrome mode the VGA screen is split up into 40x30 tiles each 16x16
pixels.
Each tile can have a different foreground and background named colour assigned
to it from the following: white, yellow, lilac, brown, fuchsia, rust, magenta,
red, cyan, green, cerulean, midgreen, cobalt, myrtle, blue and black.
'x' and 'y' are the coordinates of the block in pixels.
'foreground ' and 'background' are the new colours selected.
'nbr_tiles_wide' and 'nbr_tiles_high' are the number of tiles to change.
The change is instant and does not affect the text or graphics currently
displayed in the tiles (just the colours).
MODE 1 or MODE 2
Switches between 640x480 monochrome (MODE 1) and 320x240 4-bit colour (MODE
2).
This can be used in programs or at the command prompt.
On reboot the mode is reset to that defined with the OPTION DEFAULT MODE
command.
