(Is this the right address to send requests for help?)

I'm writing a program for a customer that requires simple graphics -- in =
particular, black text on a high-intensity-white background.  I'm using =
the djgpp version of curses.  It doesn't seem possible to have a =
hi-white background for text (this is also a problem with other versions =
of curses that I've tried).  I've tried everything I can think of, such =
as OR-ing the black-and-white color pair with A_BOLD in the attron =
function, and the text background is always gray instead of hi-white.  =
Is there any way to get a hi-white background for text?  Any help here =
would be appreciated.
