Greetings, I wonder if someone could help me with a slight problem I'm
having. I like the way NCSA Telnet can create a multi-color window, and
it seems silly to be to have to strain my eyes with black on white when
I have a high-res color display.

Now, telnet'ing to my mac may be a neat idea, but the right thing to do
would probably be to find out how to change the default for window
creation under MacOs.

With some luck, someone has done this, and they will have mercy and 
send me a pointer. The other option, is that someone has written
something to change the colors of an active window, (also acceptable,
though not nearly as nice), and they might have the mercy to send
me their program or a pointer.

The last option, is if someone is something to at least make MINIX create
a large green on black window for me, which would make my day since I spend
most of my time in MINIX on the mac anyway.

I will poke around myself, but from what I have seen, my head is going to
be killing me long before I find the right way to change this stuff on the
mac. Help? :-)

					Thanks Much!
