Thanks Kat and Jim,
I used to tinker machine language with my old Commodore 64.
It's been so long ago, that I forgot most of it.
So for what I'm doing i'm just going to live with the colors in graphics.e.
Thanks anyway.

I tinkered on the C64 also, adding 32K of new machine code, adding resizeable wordwrapped windows and multitasking, in addition to mod'ing the existing two 8k roms. Not satisfied with that, i added a card to sync with incoming NTSC so i could test programmable sections of the NTSC signal from a video camera or vhs tape as shown onscreen, to do measuring and color detection. The C64 also interfaced to Modicon controllers to do data munging, display, and printout. The VIC20 made a very nice motor rpm/torque controller controller. The ZX80/ZX81 had a lot of promise, it's still disappointing that it failed. As you know, this was all before there was an IBM PC. There's nothing out there now (that i am aware of) which combines the ease of programming with the terrific hardware expandability of the computers of the early 1980's.
useless now,
wasn't useless back then.
