I am having trouble writing colored text directly to the screen in text
mode using ScreenPrimary.  It works for most colors, but white on blue
turns in to grey on white.  It's been awhile but I think it had worked just
fine on a CGA adapter.  I think it was discussed here before, but I don't
have a record of it.  Also if anyone knows how to make the video card do
bright background colors instead of blinking it would be much appriciated.
Another odd thing is that after I run my program (with the messed up blue &
white) other programs run after it retain the messed up colors.

Thanks,

-Tim
