Abstract
When a character is present in a line adjacent to a concerned section, bordering is applied to a dot in the concerned section adjacent to that line. To avoid unnecessary bordering, when processing a head line of the concerned part, data on the head line is read instead of the data on a line above the head line. Alternatively, data on a line above the head line is all changed to background data. A last display line is similarly processed.
