Apparently "Background" will handle this. What I wish to do is musch simpler (I think?). All I want is to turn off the grey background in favor of a black background. Now I could effect this using "Background" and an all black tiff image, but I was hoping to avoid having another background process running. So, the question is, is it possible to just turn off the default grey background ? Brought to you by comp.sys.next... This fills the background with the colour of your choice and uses no memory - it fills video ram directly. Call like this: backgroundcolor .5 .5 .5 (use 0 0 0 for black) --------klippe klippe-------- [$/bin/csh -f [echo ]0 : setting background colour /usr/bin/pft < /dev/null 14 windowdeviceround ]1 ]2 ]3 setrgbcolor setexposurecolor 14 currentwindowbounds Nonretained window /w exch def false w setautofill Above 0 w orderwindow w termwindow MyEOF ----------klippe klippe---------- I didn't write this so don't hold me responsible for it - all I did was swipe it from the net...It works fine for me.
