Indeed ... :-) ... having a coloured background gives a lower contrast ratio with the black for the text. The "protection theory" also made them hard to read.

I guess that is why I have hardly ever read any the manuals ... :-( -- Malcolm Cadman _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
