10.0;mono (monochrome) *DM*, revision 1.0, 87/12/23
mono (monochrome)  set color monitor to black and white
usage:  mono [-on|-off]



DESCRIPTION
     mono controls whether the DM displays text and windows in color or in
     black and white.  This command operates on color displays only.  For
     information on controlling window color on monochrome displays, see the
     DM commands bgc (background_color) and inv (invert_color).

     mono is off, by default, at login.


     NOTE If you have enabled monochrome mode (mono -on) and run an
     application that reserves any of the DM's color slots (slots 8-15,
     specified via ctm_$ calls), then attempting to disable monochrome mode
     (issuing a mono -off command) returns the following error:

     "Current color map usage prevents turning MONO off."

OPTIONS
     If you do not specify an option, mono toggles the current mode.

     -on            Enable monochrome mode

     -off           Disable monochrome mode

SEE ALSO
     More information is available.  Type the following at an Aegis shell
     prompt:

                    monitors

     help bgc       For information on controlling background color on
                    monochrome monitors
