The setcolor function is able to the forground and background color of the
display. I wish to do the same thing from a program. Is there an escape
sequence I can send? Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Gene Lee

To set the border color, use
ESC [ nn A
where nn is a small decimal number.
Professional-YAM also recognizes this code,
which (as far as I know) is unique to Xenix.
The other colors are set by SGR sequences similar to DOS's ANSI.SYS
(as well as Pro-YAM):
ESC [ nn m
where numbers in the 30's and 40's select colors.
