When invoking the QB.EXE environment of QuickBASIC Version 4.50 or the
QBX.EXE environment of Microsoft BASIC PDS Version 7.00, the /NOHI
switch is used for monitors that display high intensity poorly or not
at all. If the /NOHI switch is used with a CGA, EGA, or VGA color
monitor, certain menu items are displayed in color. If the /NOHI
switch is not used with these monitors, the menus are displayed with
white, high-intensity white, black, and gray. Whether or not the /NOHI
switch is used when invoking the QB.EXE environment of QuickBASIC,
these colors cannot be changed from the Options menu. In the QBX.EXE
environment of BASIC PDS 7.00, the pull-down menu colors can be
changed using the Options menu.
With the /NOHI option, menu items in the pull-down menus are displayed
in the following default colors:
Color Menu Item
----- ---------
Red Highlighted letter of menu items
Green or purple Highlighted letter of selected menu items
(depending on where
the cursor is)
Orange Special menu items such as the items in the
Edit pull-down menu
