Valid Values
A 1-character code, as shown in the table below:
Remarks
AC defaults to N, except for text-entry form fields with an N (numeric) data type (DT), which force an autoclear status of Y.
If AC is set to Y, the text will be selected when the end-user enters the field. Typing new text will replace the selected text. Typing Delete or Backspace will erase the text. Pressing an arrow key will deselect the text.

Foreground color (custom). “Blends” a custom foreground color for the object, indicating the quantity of blue, green, and red to be used in the custom color.
Valid Values
An integer (0 to 255)
Remarks
In most windowing environments, a “palette” is typically available from which a color choice can be made. Depending on your system, the palette may have as few as 16, or as many as 16 million, colors.
When you specify a custom RGB (red, green, blue) color, Zim looks for the closest-matching color already in use. As a result, the match may not be exact.
