This command sets the background colour inside a window (default #1). Characters printed to that window will be written with the PAPER colour as a background unless another colour has been specified with STRIP.

Example

160   END FOR c

NOTE

PAPER also resets the STRIP to the specified colour.

CROSS-REFERENCE

INK sets the foreground colour and STRIP the background for characters only. CLS clears a window in the current paper colour. See INK concerning colour in general.
