Hello Eric,
 EB> Can anyone tell me how to change the current color of cout ?
I don't know what compiler you are using but, with Turbo C++, the manual 
states to use constrea.h to manipulate colors for streams, I don't know if 
there are any other ways to do it but it does work.
#include 
int main(void)
{
  constream out;
  out.clrscr();
  out << setbk(RED) << setclr(YELLOW);
  out << "This is yellow text with Red background" << endl;
  return 0;
}
The message was old so I don't know if you found another way, if you 
did, I would appreciate the way you found it to work.
Thanks.
Tosh
