Hmmm... if JED needs 16 background colors the JED MUST ensure that's 
available and don't assume that's available all the time. In the PC 
world you can't assume that. 
The same is for the video mode, if your program really needs text 
mode it must first check if it wasn't started from a graphic mode.

Anyways, Eli can modify this small thing in info but soon or later 
you'll found a program that makes the same stuff. 

In RHIDE you have an option to select 16 colors or blinking. RHIDE 
restores the original state.
