Why is there support in graphics modes up to 256 colors, yet the
bk_color function only works for 16 colors. It seems like if it is just to
make it compatible with text mode there should be a different function for
graphics mode.

In graphics mode there _is_ no background. Just pixels which are either
black or some other color.

You raise a valid point. I'm calling a WATCOM routine that
makes it easy for me to support 16 colors, but theoretically
I could support 256 colors in modes that have 256 colors.
I'll look into it. Meanwhile, you can use Euphoria's palette()
function to instantly change any color on the screen, including
the so-called background color.
