    Ok. I probably was thinking more of the garish CGA colors

    And from the clouds a mighty voice spoke:
    "Smile and be happy, for it could come worse!"

    And I smiled and was happy
    And it came worse.

      If only google indexed the internet, I would not have had to ask. Not my fault.

        He wasn't asking how to find it (and the answer is, of course, google), he was testing our memory.

        You are right, I misunderstood his post. I am amazed at how much we can do with DOS commands, if only we learn/remember how to do it.

          That's an unfair advantage - knowledge is not supposed to mean anything, it usually ruins good discussions - and as it has not been endorsed by w3c, it can't be worth sh*t. ;)

                My first machines were all green monochrome, so these colors were all shades of green. When I first ran one of my apps on a color monitor I was amazed!

                  You can see the 16 colors all at once, in their normal order on all kinds of Windows machines, young or old: use CommandPrompt/Properties/Colors :)
