COLORS-

            Run Pick. Allows a user to change the color settings on
        a vt2xx terminal. There are four seperate attributes that can be
        changed: The Background color, The text color, The Cursor
        (and reverse video) color, and the hilighted text color. The
        up and down arrows control which of these attributes will be affected
        by the following commands: The Left-Right arrows step through the
        list of sixty-four colors changing the chosen attribute on screen
        as U hit the button. If a number is typed followed by <cr> the
        current attribute is changed to the color corresponding to that number
        in the screen menu.  "Q" quits without changing colors, and restores
        the old ones. Control_w refreshes the screen. And a simple <cr>
        exits the program writing the new colors to the files Shades.Dat
        and Shades.Scr . The Shades.Dat file is used by pick.exe whenever
        it is run. It contains the current color settings in terms that 
        Pick can understand. Shades.Scr contains ReGIS code that will
        set colors on-screen when it is typed. Once in a while (depending 
        on the utilities and packages U use) the colors on the terminal 
        screen will get messed up and typing Shades.Scr will not restore
        them.  It is then necessary to Reset the terminal or set it to
        vt200 mode (even though it already is). There are a number of Escape
        codes that do this:   FixCrt  :== Write Sys$Output "<ESC>[62;1""p"     
        does this.  EDT will clear away any
        colors that have been set. EVE, EVEPLUS and as far as I know EMACS,
        will not affect color. Be carefull of setting background  to
        to the same color as text etc...
