ZTERM

This escape sequence starts or stops the ZTERM window title bar flashing. If the ZTERM window is hidden or minimized on Windows 95 and Window NT 4.0, the ZTERM entry on the taskbar will flash.

A flashing window is VERY useful when you have an error condition and you want to get the user's attention, even if the ZTERM window can't be seen.

 

Example

PRINT TAB(-1,0);                                           

PRINT TAB(1,30);"CHERNOBYL SIMULATOR";                     

PRINT TAB(10,20);"Fatal error - press RETURN to continue:";

PRINT CHR$(27);CHR$(16);"1";                               

INPUT "";A$                                           

PRINT CHR$(27);CHR$(16);"0";                               

 

Please note that this sequence is not supported on Windows CE versions of ZTERM.
