Absolutely Ron. It is, as Larry says a way to change on the fly. If 
there is a way to do this as default I just don't know what it is 
otherwise I would have done it that way previously.Perhaps there are 
better ways, but modifying the esm.wts script as described will change 
the colour as soon as you hit the first  <return> after executing 
Ctrl-Tab. At the moment I only know how to do this by embedding the 
commands into esm.wts. Hopefully other users ( I'm sure Larry is much 
too busy) with greater programming expertise will chime in so we can 
make the prog. better for everyone. I know some people hate ESM as much 
as I like it, so somebody could devise a way to write and call a script 
for the same purpose in non-ESM mode.
