I think that's probably doable, though I have no interest in doing it
myself.  At the point in the code I indicated to Daniel you'd need to
check if the attrribute currently being set didn't have TXTBGCOLOUR but
what was previously in effect did, and in that case transfer the
attribute.  That doesn't sound too hard, but I haven't looked at this
stuff for years (so the flags may not behave quite the way I'm
assuming).
