Missing Words in Thesaurus When Using a Hercules Graphics Card

= SUMMARY =

If a Hercules graphics card is set to reverse video by setting the Options Colors: Background For Window # field to B, one of the following may occur when entering the Thesaurus:


 * 1) If the Options Display Mode field is set to a text display, the cursor will disappear when entering the Thesaurus. The cursor will reappear again upon exiting the Thesaurus.
 * 2) If the Options Display Mode field is set to a graphics display, the list of synonyms will not be complete; only the word that is highlighted will be visible. If the cursor is moved about, more words can be seen; however, the entire list cannot be seen at once.

Please note that this behavior has been reported when using the Setup program and installing for a Hercules card. (The Setup program will create a SCREEN.VID file by combining the HERC102.CSD and HERCULES.GSD).

A workaround is to set the Options Color: Background For Window # field to A.
