   SkyPix is defined as a sub-set of the ANSI standard, and in fact most ANSI   
   commands have the same effect in SkyPix mode.  There are however several   
   SkyPix-specific commands (each followed with a characteristic "!" [bang]   
   terminator) which can only be used from a terminal equipped to emulate the   
   SkyPix protocol (all 2 of 'em ;)   
      
   NOTES:   
   ------   
   · All SkyPix graphics are implemented on a default screen of 640x200   
     (8 colours) with the default palette described below (unless the palette   
     or number of number of bitplanes is changed.)   
      
   · All sequences should be entered WITHOUT SPACES - the spaces are included   
     for readability only.

       A = upper-left X coord. of the source bitmap   
       B = upper-left Y coord. of the source bitmap   
      
       The above two will usually be 0.  HOWEVER, you can use these to blit   
       parts of a brush to the screen.   
      
       C = upper-left X coord. of the destination (the screen X coord.)

       H = MASK to be supplied to the blitter (commonly 255)   
      
       The above commands blit what is in the brush buffer (following a   
       CRC Transfer or a GRAB BRUSH command) - if no brush is found, the   
       command aborts.

       font must be in the fonts: directory of both the BBS and the Remote   
       user for this command to work!)

   11- NEW PALETTE                 ESC [ 11 ; c1 ; c2 ; c3 ; ... ; c15 ; c16 !   
      
       Sets the palette to the sixteen colours C1-C16 [you must enter all 16   
       colours even if you are just in 8-colour mode!]  The parameters C1-C16   
       are decimal numbers arrived at in the following way:   
      
       Take a grey, for instance, whose R-G-B value is 12-12-12.  Then convert   
       that to C-C-C (since 12 is hex $0C).  Now take the hex number CCC and   
       convert back into Decimal, which gives you 3276.   
      
       NOTE: Unless you are a massochist, I'd suggest using SKYPAINT since it   
       does all of the above automatically.  Even if you just need to set the   
       palette, load up SKYPAINT and begin recording, go to the palette screen   
       and set it to what you want, then end recording.  You can then look at   
       the tiny file you created and tell what ESC [ 11 command is needed in   
       your final project.
