Thanks! (And there is only me.)

Your observation is correct. Monochrome mode is not supported in the current version. It uses some (conio) functions that were only available in the Borland compiler that was used by the original author. I'm currently using the mingw compiler where I use a limited set of conio "emulation" functions.

(I should have disabled/hidden the Monochrome setting)

Btw: Do you really need it?

Bye, Wilfred.
