Hi Keith,

I tried this on my Mac using APM 2.01E and it worked just fine.
Running your program in authoring mode, pause the program after the text
has been entered and before pressing return. Do not select the text by
double clicking it. Instead just go to the attributes menu item and you
should find that the Color choice is now available and that you can change
the color of the input text.
