This information is for people who have a color graphics card and display 
and want to use DOS in colors other than plain black and white. You can choose 
a color combination that you like, using the files down below. 
You can see the file called "red.bg" listed in the box down below. Go ahead 
and enter this command:

type red.bg

     The background should now be red, and will continue to be that color from
now on. This will continue to be true while using DOS, even if you use the cls
command. However, once you begin using a software package, IT takes control of
the screen colors until you exit back to DOS. 
Here are the files you can play with:
