>I'm debugging a foxpro6 application that was originally written in either dos or 2.6. The users would like me to change the background color and text color but I'm not sure if that is doable. The code just writes to the fox window using the "TEXT" command and does not use any forms.

The app was build in DOS or 2.6 but dont forget that you are working in the 6th version of VFP.

Before your TEXT statement, you can change the foreground color with :
_screen.forecolor=rgb(0,255,0) && light green in this case

You can also change the bg color of the main vfp window using:
_screen.backcolor=rgb(0,0,0) && black

Be carefull, when you change the back color, the screen was cleaned up, so its better to set the backcolor before writing any TEXT to the screen...

HTH :)
