ink FOREGROUNDCOLOR,BACKGROUNDCOLOR

Both colour values can be single numbers - or you can use rgb() to put in a red, green, blue value.

For example...

ink rgb(255,0,0),0

will give you red ink, with a black (0) background.

Checking up, in DBPro at least theres a command called SET TEXT OPAQUE that stops text from being 'see through' and gives your text the background that you set in ink.

Which I didn't know about, I've learned something new myself

The "set text opaque" command is good for printing text in the same place over and over without having to clear the screen or use other methods to blank out the previously printed text (even with just a black background).

Or you could just use the box command.

box 0,0,screen width(),screen height()

That'll fill the whole screen with the colour you've set in ink.

just use the BOX command to fill up the screen. Make sure you put this command before any writing or else it will cover it!

You can also clear the screen with a rgb value.
