The Editor can be seen via a serial or USB console or via the display device and they are different. When you see it via the console any colours are set by the terminal emulator program. When seen via the display device they are set by the Pico.

MMBasic protects you from dropping out of the program and into the command line with the background and foreground colours the same. It does this by setting FC = white, BC = black. It can't protect against you deliberately doing this on the terminal emulator though. :)


I'd rather have it drop to the command line with the default colors rather than always using white on black.
We know the default colors won't have forecolor=backcolor because the OPTION DEFAULT COLOR command won't let you set them to the same color.

It would be safe to use the default colors rather than WHITE on BLACK.
Where might I find where that happens? I tried changing occurrences of WHITE to GREEN in the source code but it seems to have no effect.
