Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

This one is probably for Geoff.

I tried option colourcode on, on the MX170 (5.05.03) using both Putty and TeraTerm.
Both show exactly the same colours. That is why I think these colours are determined by MMBasic.
The colours are usable on a white paper, but on black background they are not.

Is it possible in the next release of micromite basic (MM2) to
a/ give the option for 2 sets of colours, one for black background, one for white background ? i.e. option colourcode 1 and option colourcode 2.
b/ Align the colours in the current colourcode with the colours in MMedit ?
  (for white background: comment = grey, commands = dark blue, constants = red).

I am not sure if this has been requested before. If so, please ignore the request.

I compromised on using a grey background in Tera Term. :) It works quite well for me.
