The original user is asking about Yellow Background.  That can't be
done in Ansi, not as far as I know.  Bright background colors are not
supported.

One way he may get around that, depending on what his flag looks like <g>
is to create the flag ( a rectangle ) consisting of Yellow Foreground.
Then put in the foreground on background text colors.

That might not look to good, but that's the best he can do if he
insists on Bright Background colors.
