BGC (BACKGROUND_COLOR) -- Set background color of display.
usage:  bgc [-on | -off]


FORMAT

  BGC [-ON | -OFF]


  The  BGC command sets the background color for monochrome displays.  Note that
  this is the display background only; window  background  color  is  controlled
  with INV (INVERT_COLOR).

  The background color is ON, by default, at login.

  NOTE: BGC  has  meaning  only for monochromatic displays.  It has no effect on
        nodes with color displays. See the DM command MONO for information about
        background color on color displays.

  If no option is specified, BGC toggles the current mode.

  -ON                Set background color to grey or green, depending on display
                     type.

  -OFF               Set background color to black.
