HIRES

`HIRES` is used to switch from text to high-resolution graphics mode and to use the specified colors: ink for the writing color and paper for the background color (both with values from 0 to SCREEN COLORS). The graphics memory is deleted and preset with the specified colors. The color of the screen frame remains unaffected. The selected mode remains active until it is switched off or changed by a command (MULTI, CSET or NRM). Important: the color specifications of almost all other graphics commands that use fg as color parameter refers to the colors specified here. If the color source 0 is specified in a graphics command, the color specified for paper is selected; if 1 is specified, the color for ink is selected; the color specification 2 inverts the controlled pixel (if in hires mode, otherwise see MULTI).
