         Well, I've known for 15 years (give or take) that fP
Unix developers have wanted a color screen editor. Once I
talked to Ken (finally I asked the right questions - in the
past, I apparently asked the wrong questions), and came to
the conclusion that it was nothing more than an interface
issue. Then I designed and wrote a screen color editor in
filePro itself (with large amounts of feedback from Bob
Stockler). It is available for purchase on my website:

         From what I hear, this functionality will be added
in v5.1. You can wait for it or buy my utility now. Your
choice.
