I've found doing a CRT TERM.DEFN<14,1> resets the colours back to the defined background for the terminal type when I use the SB.INPUT routine in a standalone program. It may help here, but I've never seen this happen in an actual screen.
Hth Colin Alfke Calgary, Canada -----Original Message----- From: mhilbert John, The data you are managing probably has control character sequences. For display purposes, you should replace all characters below char(32) with ".". For reseting the colors, try HELP BASIC @ Regards, Marc On Tue, 31 May 2011 11:18:25 -0400, Israel, John R. wrote: > I have written a program that runs from TCL to look for "bad" E-mail > addresses in various files.
