The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 1.02, 2.0, 2.5, and 2.5a
  • Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5x, 2.6, 2.6a

The @ ... FILL command supports an optional COLOR keyword. According to the documentation, the COLOR clause accepts a color pair as its argument, as the following example demonstrates: 

   @ 2,2 FILL TO 4,4 COLOR n/w
However, the argument in the COLOR clause can also be a number, as follows: 

   @ 2,2 FILL TO 4,4 COLOR 24
This functionality is not included in the documentation. It is provided in order to be compatible with FoxBASE, in which numbers are used to specify colors.
