>   When you create a BROADCAST message, you can use some special characters which you must type in column 75 (the last text column).

>   - @ ('at' sign), which causes the text line to rotate left to right;

>   - # (hash sign), which causes the text line to blink;

>   - $ (dollar sign), which rotates the text line from right to left;

>   - % (percent sign), which causes inverse blinking of the text line.
