hi !

I tried to modify the palette registers in TEXT mode running in a dos
BOX(window) on my 800x600 16bit/pixel screen.

I have changed the backgorund color. Win95 filled the whoole window, with
the color. 

When I did it in 320x200x256 mode in win95 800x600x256 color, I 
filled the whoole palette with BLACK.
I got my black window, but the taskbar was still grey.

I think I can set the I/O priv level... :/// or something to acces i/o.
