The PT= statment is used in conjunction with the SHOW statement to display patterns on the video screen. BASIC expects to find a series of up to 32 hexadecimal digits enclodes within mandatory quotes. Digits should be arranged as full bytes. If non hex characters are used an error will be generated. The last PT= statement executed remains valid until another one is defined.

10 CLS 20 PT="FF818181FF" 30 SHOW (0, 0): WAIT (100)
Will show a box in the upper left hand corner.
10 CLS 20 PT= "FFFFFFFF" 40 SHOW (0, 0, 8, 32)
