I am new to Windows programming and am using Borland C++ to get started. I
noticed that when I leave the debugger the Active Title Bar (is that what it's
called?) has changed from grey (or whatever the default color is) to maroon.
Any idea on how to stop this? Alternatively, is there anything I can do to
change it back (short of exiting windows). This is a BOCA EGA 286 systems with
2MB of extended memory.
