Selected or marked text does not highlight properly

System: UNIX version 6.11, 6.12

If the selected or marked text does not highlight properly, the highlight color for the selected text is the same as the window background color. To change the highlight color of the marked text, enter the following command line statements in each window (PGM, LOG, OUTPUT). The WSAVE command saves the window settings from session to session

COLOR MARK GRAY REVERSE; WSAVE

An alternative to the WSAVE (Window SAVE) method, is to add the following statements to your AUTOEXEC.SAS file under the appropriate sasuser directory (i.e. sasuser612). The DM (display manager) commands are executed each time you invoke SAS.

DM 'pgm; color mark gray reverse;';
DM 'log; color mark gray reverse;';
DM 'out; color mark gray reverse;';
