How can I change the default screen colors on my PC?
I tried using the ANSI driver, and echoing escape sequences to
change the colors;  this works ok for many applications, but
the screen gets reset by programs such as SIMTERM, EMACS, and
BASICA, and of course doesn't work for standalone basic.

In SIMTERM, with the ANSI driver, I can change the color by using the 
HP display enhancement escape sequences, which will give me a
few colors;  I'm currently using green-on-black, but I can't get
the white-on-blue that I'd prefer.

Thanks for any advice;			Bill
