Precedence: bulk

Has anyone figured out what the fourth pair of numbers does, in the
color definitions in DRDOS.INI?  Is it completely unused?

Here's what I have so far.  Color definitions are thirteen pairs of
numbers in parentheses.  Numbers are decimal, with 0=black, 1=blue,
2=green, 4=red, etc.  First number is usually foreground, second is
background; high-order colors are always okay for the background.
The pairs are:

1.   Normal text
2.   Selected title bar
3.   Unselected title bar
4.   -- ?
5.   F = borders and shadows, B = window background
6.   Menus, buttons, close boxes (if NewUI=ON, else close boxes vary)
7.   Selected menu items (highlight bar) and input fields
8.   Disabled menu items (8B should match 6B)
9.   Shortcut keys
10.  Bold 1 (hyperlinks)
11.  Bold 2 (definitions)
12.  Bold 3 (headers)
13.  Bold 4 (examples)
