The thing with colorback- it is the background of the text, not of the screen. An easy way to get around this is simply to clear the screen once after you set the background color. colorback(black) cls color(green) put "Yay!!! The background is black and this text is green!!!" ----------------------------------- xmdxtreme Sat May 15, 2004 1:39 pm ----------------------------------- thank you :lol:
