BB4W color

[Larry Moore]

Before venturing into GUIs, I am building a console application. I like using colors. To reassign a non-palette color, use the statement:

  color 13,75.0.130

to change the background color to indigo. However, nowhere in the documentation did I find that it is necessary to follow this statement

with:

     color 13

to actually apply the color. Only by experimentation did I discover that in order to change the background color of the console to indigo

the line of code must read:

     color 13,75.0.130 : color 13 : cls

I really like using BB3W!
