use of colors on screen

[Doug Luurs]

People can always use the "show" command in conjunction
with \B and \Fx during @entsel.

show ("3","6") "\B3     \B1"    
			     ^^^^^ being the # of spaces in the field

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.
