Description   The Text.WhatColor function is used to determine the current text (foreground) color, ie., the color used for characters that are output using put. The alternate spelling is Text.WhatColour.

Example   This program outputs the currently-active color number. The message is also given in the currently-active color.

        put "This writing is in color number ", Text.WhatColor
Details   The screen should be in a "screen" or "graphics" mode. See View.Set for details.
