> Sets the color key (transparent pixel) in a blittable surface and enables or
 disables RLE blit acceleration.</P
><P
>RLE acceleration can substantially speed up blitting of images with large
horizontal runs of transparent pixels (i.e., pixels that match the
<TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>key</I

> value). The <TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
