Discussion: This mnemonic displays bright characters on the Comet console. Bright characters that are defined as the "background color" of a field (i.e., the first character in the color definition).

To display "bright" characters, use the following instruction:

PRINT (0) (Bright)

Note: The (Bright) mnemonic also turns off blinking fields that have been previously set with the (Blink) mnemonic.
