I am trying to do color screens under ETI curses with the menu library. The
problems are several..


Cureses doesnt ALWAYS notice that the console can do color.

How do I clera a screen TO a specific color ?? (I can set the attributes BY
CHARACTER and string .. do I have to write a " " to EVERY posoition once ??
Clear doesnt do it).

The MENU stuffalways runs on a black backround.

Any code appreciated.
