On the //c you have a primary and alternate character set. The alternate
set is the one with the mouse characters. Primary can display flashing and
inverse upper case letters but not lower case. The alternative set can
display inverse upper or lower case letters but no flashing letters.

$C00E is ALTCHARSETOFF
$C00F is ALTCHARSETON
$C01E IS ALTCHARSET; This willreturn a value ( >= $80 if alternative set
is on)
