    If I remember correctly, the attribute is calculated thusly:

                   128 * Blink% + (16 * Back%) + Fore%

    where:

                Blink% = 1 if you want it to blink,
                Back% = 0 - 7, being the background color,
                Fore% = 0 - 15, being the foreground color.

    Color attributes are the same as for QB, so if you wanted, say, flashing
    bright blue on white (YUCK), then you would have:

                   Blink% = 1: Back% = 7: Fore% = 9

    Here's the color breakdown:

                  Black = 0               Dark Gray = 8
                  Blue = 1                Bright Blue = 9
                  Green = 2               Bright Green = 10
                  Cyan = 3                Bright Cyan = 11
                  Red = 4                 Bright Red = 12
                  Magenta = 5             Bright Magenta = 13
                  Brown = 6               Yellow = 14
                  Gray = 7                White = 15

    To make it blinking, just add 16 to it...  This is for the foreground
    colors only...  The background is limited to only the first eight colors.
    Hope this helps you out...

    Chris
