(Wow! I just came up with this black letters on white background metaphor, and am going to sue Apple for it!). Well, If I do so, the letters start blinking! What gives? And while other people are complaining about DOS programs that run not so perfectly under Windows 3.0, here's a new one - the above problem GOES AWAY if I run microEMACS in a window under windows 3.0!!! BTW, I am using a Mylex 386 20MHz with a Paradise +16 VGA card (256K). The problem is present in both standard VGA mode and in 50 line VGA mode. Monitor is NEC 3D. Thanks!
