Thank you, Gary. I was certain that I had 'played around' with all the 
colour  settings
to see what was what.  Clearly I hadn't.  Using 'blue on white' enables 
me to see, however,
I do get the same problem I found with other settings. 'White' gives me 
a 'dirty' greyish
colour whilst 'default' gives a white background.

Grateful for your help.                        John.
