        "Smile and be happy, for it could come worse!"

        And I smiled and was happy
        And it came worse.

                      C:\>color /? Sets the default console foreground and background colors. COLOR [attr] attr Specifies color attribute of console output Color attributes are specified by TWO hex digits -- the first corresponds to the background; the second the foreground. Each digit can be any of the following values: 0 = Black 8 = Gray 1 = Blue 9 = Light Blue 2 = Green A = Light Green 3 = Aqua B = Light Aqua 4 = Red C = Light Red 5 = Purple D = Light Purple 6 = Yellow E = Light Yellow 7 = White F = Bright White If no argument is given, this command restores the color to what it was when CMD.EXE started. This value either comes from the current console window, the /T command line switch or from the DefaultColor registry value. The COLOR command sets ERRORLEVEL to 1 if an attempt is made to execute the COLOR command with a foreground and background color that are the same. Example: "COLOR fc" produces light red on bright white

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

                            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. ;)

                                  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.

                                    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 :)

                                          Resistance is futile (if < 1 ohm)
