Can anyone tell me how to cause the border area of a normal display to
have a particular color?

If possible, I'd like to do this in any video mode.

I'm using a PS2 (model 50, but if it differs by model, I'd like to know
how to do it on any) with VGA, but I'm curious about CGA, SVGA and XVGA
(etc...) displays as well.

Any help would be appreciated--pointers to books, a textual
description, or code (Pascal, ASM, or C).

If this is simple, then email would be most appropriate otherwise, perhaps
the net would be interested.

Thanks.
