	Don't bother looking up old issue of Apple II magazine, I don't
know why I didn't think of this before, but here's something to compare
with that most everyone has -- the Apple IIgs Owner's Guide (ROM 01). :)

	Turn to your Owner's Guide section that mentions setting the
built-in text Control Panel (around page 109 and onwards; it just happens
to show a dark-blue background with white text). My dark-blue definately
does not match up with the photographs here. What about other GS users
out there, does your dark-blue match up with the pictures in the manual?
If so, please let me know. I don't want spend another whole day adjusting
my monitor unless it's necessary.
