I'm trying to learn Turbo Vision.  As an exercise, I'm using TListViewer
to view a directory list inside a window, and I have two problems:

- the color for the filenames is flashing white on red, as is the
  color for the selected item.  I've done nothing to change the 
  default palette; even if I wanted to, to book leaves me clueless.
  Do I have to activate the palette somehow?

- even though the book states that TListViewer's Draw method "copes
  with resizing," my directory list view does not change size with
  the window.  What does the book's statement mean?

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Turbo Vision seems to me to be either overly complicated or underly
documented.  I sure would like to see a comp.lang.pascal.tvision group
soon.
