Hmm, these almost work! They change the colors, but not in the way one would expect. Foreground seems to change the background color and vice versa. Additionally the colors change to something very different from what is chosen (almost the opposite color, but not sufficiently opposite to be certain that is what is indeed happening). AND, the color changes that DO occur, don't last through the execution of the next screen refresh. Everything changes back to what I had before. Oh, and whatever color you have, pastel seems to be the rule. No darker colors, and black is completely out. What am I missing? David Kachel
