| This is a known requirement, that has not yet been implemented. Blink is harder to do than other things like bold and italic, because they are just different styles of text. To make text blink the program has to scan through all of the text every second or so, and blank out the blink characters, and then unblank them a second later. |

| Perhaps you could have the program only check the visible part of the screen? | Top |

| Yes, indeed. However you are still potentially searching 50 lines, 80 columns, every second. |

| Ah ok.. I see the point, perhaps untill a method is found.
an option could be added to be able to change the displaying of the various ansi codes.. blink could be like invert, italic or even a custom color..
come to think of it.. can't blink be incorporates as individual colors? a subroutine that changes the affected text so it looks like blinking every second? | Top |

| Blink is currently displayed as italic, so if you turn on "show italic" then blinking code should be italic. |
