It's probably disabled. This suggests it's the computer concepts one then
since the Acornsoft one responds even if turned off.
A quick nosey at the disassembly shows top bit of &3A4 is being used, so
?&3A4=?&3A4 AND127
*HELP
will wake it up and
*HELP GRAPHICS
lists the commands. Further inspection shows unknown OSBytes (service call
7) are filtered off before testing top bit of &3A4, and that a
*FX162,<number>
writes <number> to the flags@&3A4 amongst other things, presumably the
manual would detail the relevance of other bits in this location,
