Having just gotten a color monitor the my IBM-PC/XT, I've decided I
don't like white characters on black background.  How can I have
DOS set the color of my characters on a permanent basis (i.e., every
time I turn the system on)?  I tried doing it in basic, but exiting
basic resets the colors (it appears).

Thanks,
