INK
This command will set the current ink color using the specified color value. color values range from 0 to
over 16 million, that represent every combination of red, green and blue to make up the final color. You
can use the RGB command to make the generation of the color value straight forward. The parameter
should be specified using integer values.

SYNTAX
INK Foreground Color,Background Color

"


I can't seem to get the Backround Color to work.
No matter what value I give it, the background color stays the same....black.
Am I missing something?

it does't change the color of the background. To blank the screen with a color use the CLS command

Thanks,
I got that far on my own too, but it left me wondering.

If INK doesn't change the Background Color, then why require it in the syntax?

Also,
If I have to use CLS to set the background color, then how would I change it without erasing everything else?

That's why I was hoping that I was misiing something.
Oh well, I guess I have to make a box behind everything that is the same size as the screen, then change its color.

the background in the "ink" command changes the background behind text. this background is made transparent by default, but if you want to see it use "set text opaque"

Insanity is just a state of mind.

Maybe it's for things like opaque text, like, ink rgb(255,0,0),rgb(0,255,0) would give a red text color, and green background color. Not sure though.
