Chris,

To make the screen blue with high intensity white, do the following:

1) include the following line in config.sys
	device=ansi.sys
assuming that the ansi.sys driver is in the root of the bootup directory.

2) include the following line in your autoexec.bat file
	echo [1;37;44m

where  is the escape character (ascii 27)

good luck,

nate liskov

p.s. check the dos 4.01 manual for more details on ansi commands
