- You can change fg/bg colors using
- 1) An utility like the Norton SA (screen attribute), or
- 2) if you installed ANSI.SYS device by writing to video an escape sequence
- like this: ^[[#;#m, where "^[" is ESCAPE and "#" represents a number (sorry
- but I don't remember all ANSI commands...).
-
- Anyway, there's no mean to change colors from WPS or Settings (or, if
- such a mean exists, I don't know about it).
