SD_SETPA/IOW_SPAP & SD_SETST/IOW_SSTR & SD_SETIN/IOW_SINK

These traps set the colour of paper, strip and ink.

• All registers not shown above are not used on entry and are preserved on exit.
• The paper colour is the background colour of a window used in clearing, scrolling and panning. The strip colour is used to highlight text. The ink colour is used for writing characters and printing graphics. Note that the S*BASIC "PAPER" command sets both paper and strip to the same colour unlike SD_SETPAP/IOW_SPAP which sets only the paper colour.

The example below shows the use of this trap call to set the ink to black. It is assumed that A0 contains the channel ID.

        moveq   #sd_setin,d0    ; $29

        trap    #3              ; Set the ink
