Use the forms designer, fdesign, to edit the form description file.
If that isn't available, then you're going to have to edit the form
creation code to set the appropriate background/foreground color. The
function fl_set_object_color() is the one to edit.

A Sun 3/60! Wow! Do you still have mastodons, too? :-) :-) :-)
