I've never been able to accomplish changing the background to another
colour when I am using a bitmap that has black as one of it's colours. That
was a major headache during the writing of the first tutorial.

The only way I got around it was to write a utility program that converted
a bitmap displayed on the screen into a Euphoria procedure, consisting of a
series of lengthy pixel() statements. I then took that created procedure
and added it to the main body of the program I was working on. After that,
I was able to change the background without any further grief.
