I don't have my manual handy (it's at home), but I believe the command you
want is "SET COLOR TO".  It sets the default colors used for background,
text, and "enhanced" text (blanks in forms, for example).  It can also set
attributes such as intensity, blink, underscore, etc.  Used in programs, it
can create screen zones with different colors and attributes than the rest
of the screen; only the areas you affect with @SAY/GET, ?, TEXT, etc, while
the selected attributes are in effect will show those attributes.
