Wasn't POKE 686,0 something?



Don’t know about 686, but 646 controlled the text color. POKE 646,0 would change it to black.


Poke646 was the name of a mod for the original Half-Life...I'm getting the feeling that isn't a coincidence

Ninja edit: Yep, confirmed http://www.poke646.com/index.php/3-faq


Yes, 646 it was. Now I won't forget again!


Putting 0 into 686 wouldn't to anything, unless you had a program running in the background there, like a DOS wedge. 679 through 767 was empty at startup.
