I want to change a color that WfW uses when it is prompting for a new
file name. When I run the colors utility in Windows 3, this color is
located in column 2, bottom row.

There are two solutions. The first is to tell WfW to use a different
color, but I don't know how to do that.  Is there a way to change the
color map that WfW uses?  The second is to change that particular color
using the color palette. This is actually a good idea, because it is a
truly wretched color. (I have a video7 driver). I am unable to change the
colors with the palette. I think that the palette is good only for
defining new custom colors.

Any hints or suggestions?

thanks in advance,

tom
