2.3.6.2 Display Shape (#H)

Display Shape places a colored shape using attributes specified by %A. Currently, the only shape which is displayed is a square.

Display Shape was derived from the #G (2.3.4.3 Graphics-Mode Display Text (#G)) command. Instead of displaying a text string, however, #H will display a specified shape.
