I used the following program to try and get the range of colors :

*****begin
#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main()
{
  int i=0;
  for(i=0; i<16; i++)
  {
    textcolor(i);
    cout << "ABCDEFG\n";
  }
}

*****end

All I got for output was 16 rows of normal white ABCDEFG.  What am I
doing wrong?  This seems like it should be simple.
