use of colors on screen

[Fairlight]

But not dynamically.  You have to paint a static layout, and you're stuck
with that layout.  You can't have a balance field that's usually one
colour, and then if the balance is negative, force it to shift to a red
background.

In that fashion, it's quite limited control you can achieve.

I reviewed the color info on fptech help but can't see how to toggle to a different color.  I run fp 5.0.13 on Centos 5.  They use kermit95 to hit the box.
