'BM' Mnemonic
         Begin Output of Markup Files
Behaviour
Description
Use 'BM' to begin output of markup files containing embedded mnemonics. For
instance, in the ProvideX *VIEWER*, 'BM' sends all data directly to the print file without
interpretation in tokenized format (except for 'FF' , 'CR', and 'LF' mnemonics, which are
output as 0C, 0D, and 0A respectively). This allows you to send print jobs to any
Windows printer. To end markup, use the 'EM' Mnemonic, p.603.
'BO' Mnemonic
      Begin Output Transparency
Behaviour
Description
Use 'BO' to begin output transparency mode. (All printed output is sent directly to
the display device without checking for embedded mnemonics; i.e., $1B$ (Esc)
followed by the mnemonic code.) Use 'EO' to end output transparency mode.
