   I have a Star NX1000 Rainbow printer and a 286 AT running under DOS 4.01

   Recently I tried to set up the GRAPHICS.PRO file so that I can print in
   color.  There are 7 colors and 6 of these work fine.  But for some
   reason BLACK does not work.  Part of the file GRAPHICS.PRO follows :


   COLORSELECT R,27,114,1        ;;  Red Band
   COLORSELECT G,27,114,6        ;;  Green Band
   COLORSELECT B,27,114,2        ;;  Blue Band
   COLORSELECT Y,27,114,4        ;;  Yellow Band
   COLORSELECT O,27,114,5        ;;  Orange Band
   COLORSELECT V,27,114,3        ;;  Violet Band

   COLORSELECT X,27,114,0        ;;  Black Band

   The first six are OK but it seems it does not like the "0" for
   BLACK. Does anyone know how to avoid this problem as black is a
   useful color for graphics ???

   Any other color drivers which work would also be appreciated.
   Thanks.
