FLIP Save and/or restore the Rainbow screen Flip lets you save the Rainbow screen in a file for later restoration. It does one of three things: Saves the screen to a file Restores the screen from a file Exchanges the current screen with one stored in a file Usage: FLIP [-w | -r [-d]] [file] The file argument specifies where to save/restore the screen image to/from. The default is \FLIP.###. The -w option means to save the screen. The -r option means to restore the screen. The -d option is used with -r and causes the file to be deleted after the screen is restored. If neither -r or -w are specified, the current screen is exchanged with the one in the file. As an example, the file EDIT.BAT might contain the following commands FLIP -w ! Save the screen RED %1 ! Run the editor (sic) FLIP -r -d ! Restore the screen and delete the file If you have a RAM disk, you might want to write the screen image there, as it is faster, e.g. FLIP -w F:\SCREEN.SAV RED %1 FLIP -r F:\SCREEN.SAV BUG - Saving the screen while a key is held down occasionally causes the key to repeat or the Shift/Ctrl keys to be in effect when the screen is restored (hit another key to stop key repeats). You should avoid any keyboard interaction at the moment of saving the screen. Copyright (c) 1985, 1986 by Bryan Higgins.
