Summary: I couldn't make the customized screen colours/attributes *permanent*.

The following is a bug I encountered in the TCINST that came
with Turbo C 1.5:
 
I am unable to use the TCINST.EXE program that came in disk #1 to
make custom changes to the screen attributes used in the various
menus and windows in TC.EXE (the interactive environment).  TCINST
accepted my changes happily and "saved" it into TC.EXE when it
exited, but when I started up the modified copy of TC.EXE, all the
screen attributes were that of the ones before I ran TCINST.
 
This problem seems to affect the "colour" changes *only*, the changes
I made to the directories and options setting in TCINST were all
saved properly and were in effect when I started up the modified
version of TC.EXE.
 
This is happening on an IBM-PC with a monochrome monitor on a MDA
(if that matters).  The version of Turbo C 1.5 I used has all its
files dated 12-10-87.
 
Do any other Turbo C 1.5 users have this problem as well?
 
(A friend of mine who has Turbo C 1.0 and Turbo Pascal 4.0 had told
me that this problem does not appear in either of these packages'
configuration programs.)
 
Please reply by e-mail as well if possible.
