Edward, This is what the XyWrite 4 Customization Guide says:DF DD Define Display � Changes the appearance of defined blocks. This setting is useful for low-contrast screens such as those found in laptops. XyWrite takes the number that you specify and compares it, in binary form, to the number of the text that is defined. The actual display is based on the binary difference between those two numbers. The display will differ from mode to mode; the appearance of the command triangles will also be affected. We suggest that you choose a number for DD based on the appearance of normal mode text and the triangles. (The initial default is 119.) df dd=n � Format of the DD setting, where n is the number on which XyWrite bases its calculations to determine how to display defined text.
df dd=40 � Example of the DD setting.

Can anyone clarify how to set the screen color for selected text? For ordinary text, I use gray (called white in the help file) on blue. The default Highlight setting seems to be 16; this produces gray on black, which is almost indistinguishable from normal text's gray on blue. If I try 112, which shows up on the Color Choices menu as black on gray, what I get is not black on gray, but gray on brown. Can anyone suggest a setting that would cause selected text to be the inverse of ordinary text, in this case blue on gray? None of the highlight colors that I choose actually produce that color in a document.Many thanks to all.
