SK>Thanks, -=[SIMON]=-

Again, This is the assembly language echo.  But, to answer your question:

   Bit 5 of the CGA's Mode Control Register ( 03d8 ) control Blink / Hi
   intensity backgrounds.

For Hi-intensity backgrounds:

       OUT &h03D8, INP(&h03D8) OR 32

For Blinking Backgrounds:

       OUT &h03D8, INP(&h03D8) AND 223

Hope this helps.
