Here's the code I've been trying to use to blank (black) my screen:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <osbind.h>

main()
{
int i, pal;
for (i=0;i<16;i++)
        pal = i;
Setpallete(pal);
}
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I have tried everything, the spelling, everything. Am I totally on the 
wrong track with this (the purpose, by the way, is to blank the screen to 
prevent burn in). The above program just inverts the screen, when I click 
on the Control panel ACC it is re-inverted back to black on white and the 
first color in the pallete is set all 3 bars at the top. When I pull 
them down the screen goes white on black and running the program does 
nothing. Any suggestions?
