Nothing serious, and not worth expending lots of time/effort on
to fix - more of an annoyance really.

Basically, configuring a "daft" colour scheme doesn't allow you
to <Escape>.  I should say that I usually make any changes to
the config files by hand - I presume most people do - and found
myself idly playing with DIS this morning (no comments about the
exciting life I lead, please).

Anyway, quite apart from the fact that I don't like being told
that I have set up a daft set of colours (which incidentally to
my mind they were not), pressing <Esc> to abandon the selection
does not - one gets the same "daft colours .... C to continue"
message as if Update had been selected.  The only (correct) way
out of this loop is to enter a set of colours that DIS finds
aesthetically pleasing - like the defaults for instance...

As I said at the top, it's no big deal, but if you're looking at
DIS for the 2.18 release, Malcolm, I just thought I'd mention it.
