you're looking for Font.Draw() function

not sure... I have a picture as a background in my program...
and when i use
put "text here"

the text becomes highlighted in whatever color colorback() is set to. Is there a way to set this so you can see the background thru the text?

Thankyou

I wanna get the white spot the arrow is pointing to transparent... I still want to use the put statement to do this.

The only thing you can do is use Font.Draw (like tony said...twice..) or just when you put something do this. (two dots)

code:

put "blah blah fart?" ..

yes use Font.Draw like tony said, it has a transparent background and if you need to use get, you still can. just set it to noecho in the setscreen
