| I have a user that requested that I highlight an input field to light yellow. How would I do this?  I use the inverse toggle to highlight but this has no choice to switch colors. 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.


Well, that's probably not possible, but perhaps this snippet of code
(from Bob Stockler) might be useful to you.  I've got it set to
operate on every input field, but obviously you could just use it for
particular fields:

	@wef*::gosub hilite;end:
	@wlf*::gosub lolite;end:
	hilite::show(@ro, at co) "\r"&fieldval(-, at fd)&"\r";return:
	lolite::show(@ro, at co) fieldval(-, at fd);return:
