Just TEXTNORMAL=0x... export TEXTNORMAL in the environment by any scheme you want before calling the top level menu. ie: ~/.profile , or if you want to get fancy and come up with something that avoids hand editing .profiles thats fine too. They override the config file the same as PFPRINTER etc..

Thats how we let developers edit color screens in unix without affecting users, we have a script that selects colors, sets the variables, and calls dscreen, and the color settings only affect that dscreen session.
