 Is there anyone who can give an answer to question asked in the comments
below ??

/*
 * Start this program AT THE BOTTOM LINE of your screen,otherwise no
 * difference will be seen.
 * On a SUN console and some kind of vt220 terminal,I got:
 * [Test] (Test printed in reverse-video)
 * (empty line,normal-video)
 * [Test] (Test printed in reverse-video)
 * Starting the program with ansi.sys or nansi.sys or nnansi.sys or zansi.sys
 * installed under dos 4.0 (I don't think the dos version matters) I got:
 * [Test] (Test printed in reverse mode)
 * [                                            ] (line in reverse-video)
 * [Test                                        ] (Test printed in one
 *                                                 reverse-video line)
 *
 * The behaviour probably has something to do with scrolling.
 *
 * Question:
 * Which behaviour is correct and why ?
