Hmmm ... on the other side this also is easy to control by your script :

set your console to any sheme you like :

It's a minor niggle, but you may simply want to output text on an existing screen using the existing attributes. So, you don't want to clear the console, and you don't neccesarily know what the console colours are, so you can't set them in the script.

If it is an issue for extant scripts, maybe make it settable by SetOption before the first output.

If it is possible to get the console attributes when KiXtart starts this would be very useful, and could be used to set the colours accordingly in the script.

The current foreground and background colours, and the size of the console would be invaluable for sizing console application screens and presenting the output in the colour scheme that the user prefers rather than one imposed.

I'd also like to be able to "Peek()" at a console co-ordinate and get the character and colour attributes there, but now I'm getting a little off-topic
