   As far as I can remember, it uses some attribute to fill new lines when the   
   screen scrolls up, and just prints characters without changing the attribute   
   otherwise.   
      
   One of the reasons that in BBS times people often had ansi.sys loaded, and   
   an ansi escape sequence setting the attribute in their (4dos) prompt.

   And what "textattr" is this? The Crt one is just a variable for internal   
   use. Afaik it doesn't correspond with some systemwide value.
