I found most of the commands from this page work with both the
895 and 960 printers. The color links are on the bottom of the
page. It was the changing to raster that did the trick. I did
test and found out as well that the dfcolor was not needed
seemingly.. The light blue comes out to be identical to the
cya -- CYAN color I have defined as
#cyacolor = <027 042 118 050 083> Interesting..
Here is the list that I used to get both the 895 & 960 to work
in RBase6.0a DOS...
#Stcolor = <027 042 114 045 052 085>
#Redcolor = <027 042 118 049 050 083>
#grncolor = <027 042 118 049 048 083>
#blkcolor= <027 042 118 049 052 083>
#blucolor = <027 042 118 054 083>
#yelcolor = <027 042 118 056 083>
#magcolor = <027 042 118 052 083>
#cyacolor = <027 042 118 050 083>
#lblucolor = <027 042 118 053 048 083>
I really appreciate the help
