925.0. "Controlling the colour of text" by GOONS::CHAPMAN () Wed Apr 17 1991 11:03

    I am running DECmcc on a monochrome workstation. When I enter text onto
    the map, it is displayed in black while I am typing it but changes to
    white when I save it so that I can only see it if I subsequently move
    it to a black background. How can I force it to be saved as black?

    The mcc_resource.dat file in sys$library, which I have now copied to
    sys$login, has:
    
    	lineColor         darkgrey
        iconForeground    blue
        windowBackground  white

    Gary,
    As stated in the release notes( at least the last time I checked), If
    you're using monochrome, set window background to white and the other 
    two resources to black.  Complementarily, you may set window background
    to black and the other two resources to white.
