RPAL Utility

With the

RPAL

utility, you can make real-time gray shade

changes to the

LCD

or color changes to a color LCD or an

attached color monitor.

RPAL

displays a small gray-shades

or color palette over part of your current screen when you
press a hot key (ALT plus an alphabet key you can assign).

Note: The

RPAL

pop-up menu is intended for use only with

text applications and has no effect on graphics applications
such as Microsoft Windows, Ventura Publisher

®

, and the

graph display within Lotus 1-2-3.

You can create custom palettes for each of your
applications and store the specific settings in a data file. If
you assign the custom palette file to the application using
the Laptop Manager Setup Menu, the computer loads the
custom palette when you select the application.

By adding

RPAL

to your

AUTOEXEC.BAT

file, you can also

define the current palette when you turn on your computer.

n

Note: Some applications provide their own color setup
procedures. Some applications also take control of the
keyboard and do not recognize the

RPAL

hot key.

RPAL does not display the palette when you run graphics
applications. However, you can adjust your colors or gray
shades at an

MS-DOS

prompt before you load your graphics

application program.
