Yes, that is exactly right. They have to be in the first column, however.

You have to do it yourself. You could use _ILine to draw the border, or you
could do it yourself (much faster). To do the inside, it's similiar to a
putsprite routine. Create masks for the right and left edge. Example...
left_x = 3 (so you want to start filling with white on the fifth pixel)
left_mask = %11110000
right_x = 49 (so you want the first pixel)
right_mask = %01111111
You then do an AND operation with the mask for the two edge bytes. For the
middle, just set the bytes to zero.
