I just purchased a '386 to replace an aging (well, 2 years old...) XT.
After transferring everything over, almost everything works as expected.
One exception is that the program "egabord", which I use to change the
color of the screen border, is no longer nonvolatile.  That is, running
"CLS" to clear the screen gets rid of the border (though not the screen
background color, which I change using "egacolor").  It didn't do that
on the XT.  Is there anything I can do to fix this problem, short of
resetting the border every time I use "CLS"?

Thanks,
