[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Setting Mac to B&W mode

halam1@ub.d.umn.edu (Haseen I. Alam) (11/14/90)

 Hi there,

 I am a novice in HC.  I just found out that the visual effects do not work
 on a color Mac unless the monitor is set to B&W mode.  Now I would like to
 add this as an automatic option to my stack.  First I want to check if the
 monitor is set to more than B&W mode then turn it to B&W, and at the end
 before quitting I would like to set the mode back to the previous set up.
 Sounds easy, but I have no clue.

 One other related question.  Is it possible to call a FKEY from within HC.
 I have SwitchaRoo installed so if I could do "commandkey shiftkey 9" or
 equivalently do "FKEY 9" then I should be fine.  Is it possible to go in
 the control panel, choose the Monitor and set the color mode to B&W?

 Any help will be greatly appreciated.  (please e-mail)  Thanks.

 Haseen.
