SUMMARY
=======

If you use the Control Panel's Color facility to set your menus to white text on
a black background, no highlight is visible when you select a menu item.

This problem occurs because the highlight color is always white text with a black
background. You need to change the HighlightText color settings in the WIN.INI
file.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Control Panel does not support the highlight color setting. You must manually
change the setting in the WIN.INI. This procedure and the settings themselves
are documented in the WININI.TXT readme text file.

Additional query words: high light cursor 3.0 select 3.00 WIN30 3.00a
