10.0;bgc (background_color) *DM*, revision 1.0, 88/03/09
bgc (background_color) - set background color of display
usage: bgc [-on | -off]



DESCRIPTION
     The bgc command sets the background color for monochrome displays.  Note
     that this is the display background only; the inv (invert_color) command
     controls window background color.

     The background color is on, by default, at login.


OPTIONS
     If you do not specify an option, bgc toggles the current mode.

     -on  Set the background color to grey or green, depending on display
          type.

     -off Set the background color to black.

NOTE
     bgc has meaning only for monochromatic displays.  It has no effect on
     nodes with color displays. See the DM command mono for information about
     background color on color displays.
