Can't seem to figure this out. Checked the FB II Reference and page 309
says the constant for _boldBit% = 1. In the constants help for FB^3 it
shows "_boldbit = 0". The constants for colors seem to match.  I ran the
following in the mainstart section of a PG project. One window and one edit
field. The window and the edit field show up and it changes but there is no
color or bolding.  All  values tried seem to only yield plain black text.
Anyone run into this one? I'm probably overlooking something stupid.

DIM 10 x$
TEXT _geneva,9,0
COLOR _zBlack
x$ = "plain"
EDIT$(_Field) = x$
delay 1800

x$ = "BOLD"
TEXT _geneva,9,_boldBit%
EDIT$(_Field) = x$
delay 1800

COLOR _zMagenta
x$ = "Magenta"
EDIT$(_Field) = x$
delay 1800
COLOR _zBlack
