-	'''Discussion''': Blank fill. The (BF) control code replaces all characters from the cursor position to the end of the line with blanks. The current mode -- foreground, background, or invisible (suppressed background) -- determines the type of blank. When this control is complete, the cursor is positioned at the beginning of the next line (or the next available foreground position on the screen).

-	'''Discussion''': Blind mode. The (BM) control code establishes "blind mode" -- an attribute where characters entered from the keyboard do not appear on the screen. Up to 32 characters can be entered with the video device in blind mode. This control code is typically used for entering invisible passwords.
