I would like to find out if there is any way for me to inform Red
Ryder 10.3 that I would like to have white characters on a black
background, rather than the current black characters on a white
background.
If not possible, is there some other solution?? (I seem to recall
vaguely that there is some sort of INIT that can invert the colors
of the screen??)
Also, I am only ever offered the choice of one font when I request
a "set font" in the program. Is there some magic that suddenly
gives me the choice of other fonts, or is the program hardcoded
to work with a particular typeface? (if I can change it, what do
people find as the best typeface for long periods of computer
interaction? I stick with Palatino in MSWord...)
FYI: I'm running RR on a Mac II and Multifinder 6.0.3. I have the
following INITs kick in when I start up: SuperClock! Vaccine,
Grappler LS and After Dark.
[how about White Knight, too, since I'm supposed to get
a copy of that in two or three weeks... ?? ]
Thanks for any suggestions or help!

I don't think RR v10 can do inverse anymore (some of the earlier versions
of RR could.) However, White Knight v11 allows you to set the colors for
text, and for the background. So, if you are running a mac with Color
Quickdraw, you could set the text to white, and the terminal window
background to black (or any other combination of colors.)
