changing DOS screen colors

Comment:

How do I change the screen colors in DOS? Specifically, I want to put something in my startup sequence so that my DOS has a blue background and white text similar to the Wordperfect 5.1 look. Thanks

load ansi.sys in config.sys devicehigh=ansi.sys then add @PROMPT $E[37;44m $P$G cls to autoexec.bat in this example ansi.sys has to be in c:\ if it is in c:\dos\ then use devicehigh=c:\dos\ansi.sys
