To change the color of text you need to access memory. I have a
library to do this, with a box (with shadow) function. and will send
it to anyone interested. Text memory starts at B800:0000 (B8000) +
an offset held at another location. Each word contains first the
ASCII character than a value for the colour, 7 is grey on black.

Text modes and I think the lowest resolution EGA mode are the only
ones that have multiple pages because of the way memory is set up. I
haven't checked this up in euphoria. It may be Euphoria.
