          color animation limits.  High bit (bit 15) set if color
                animation data is valid.  Low byte contains color animation
                limits (4 most significant bits are left/lower limit,
                4 least significant bits are right/upper limit).

          color animation speed and direction.  High bit (bit 15) set
                if animation is on. Low order byte is # vblanks per step.
                If negative, scroll is left (decreasing).  Number of vblanks
                between cycles is |x| - 1

icon and click both mouse buttons in the eye of the second R in the

  Interestingly enough, some versions of NEO only require you to press
the right button, not both.  Hmmm...
