45
46 Alt-B does the block mode thing ALA XxxXxxx.
47 Block mode does not highlight the selected block area yet. It will.
48 You can now copy blocks.
49 Block mode mirror and invert work correctly and
50 mirror (or invert) highascii characters.
51 Translate will change all instances of one color to another
52 while preserving bright/normal intensity.
53 Selecting fill mode will bring up a sub menu to fill

58
59 Alt-C draws using the last character picked up with Alt-P in the
60 current foreground/background color.
61

63 Line drawing uses whatever high ascii set you have selected.
