That's not what the sysop was asking. They want the BBS to control the colors seen by the user's terminal program.

That is an invalid menu selection in SCFG.

You cannot change file area colors in SCFG. Instead the configuration files ctrl/attr.cfg and ctrl/text.dat must be edited.

That did not help.
