(I don't remember the original email in this thread... but..)
There must be a way to do it, my dos pascal IDE changes background color on
a character basis, and so does dos Xtree, and so does the trace window for
Eu. Look for a color bitmap in the color controls of the video card, but i
wouldn't make any changes to it in windoze, and you prolly can't change it
in linux.
