7/9/98 ROM-DOS 6.22 Command Descriptions 3-77
M E N U C O L O R
CONFIG.SYS
Purpose
Sets the text and background colors for the startup menu. This
command can only be used in a menu block within your CONFIG.SYS
file.
Syntax
MENUCOLOR = text_color [,background_color]
Remarks
text_color selects the display color for the screen text. The color
numbers 0 to 15 can be selected from the list below for the text color.
background_color is optional. If a value is not entered, the default
color 0 (Black) is used. Be sure to specify different colors for
background and text, and separate the numbers with a comma. For
best results, choose contrasting colors. Only the color numbers 0 to 7
can be used as the background color designation.
For systems whose BIOS does not directly support a video display,
such as Datalight's miniBIOS, the standard CONFIG.SYS menu
commands are unusable. In order to use these commands, the color
number sequence of "0" for text_color and the default
background_color(black), or "0,0" for text and background colors can
be selected. These numbers represent a color choice of black text with
a black background, an unusable choice for screen viewing. Using the
black/black combination in the MENUCOLOR command line tells ROM-
DOS to display the startup menu in TTY mode without using BIOS
screen/cursor positioning or color changing commands.
