Something I wasn't aware of until yesterday:

I am using the same -v selection program at a client's to print a report of
credit card sales to process and to process the sales.  My client asked me
to differentiate these two output options.

The selection program goes to a menu before starting the selecting the
records.  I changed the first 2 show statements at the top of the screen to
use different colors.

I realized that I could change the screen color by changing the TextNormal
option.  I added the following to the menu batch file starting the program

 @echo off
set TextNormal= 0xe5
rreport transaction -f to_approve -v sel_process -a -iA -u -pq
set TextNormal = 0x1f

This did not work.  Anyone see why not?

The answer is:

Apparently, as fp support informed me, filePro does not like the space
between = and the value

This works just fine(see below).  The background screen is bright Yellow for
processing the cards.  No mistaking which menu option has been selected.

@echo off
set TextNormal=0xe5
rreport transaction -f to_approve -v sel_process -a -iA -u -pq
set TextNormal=0x1f
