This is how Staz showed me to change the color in FB^3 which also could not
be done as it was in FBII for a field.  You could easily use this EDIT TEXT
stuff to change the text for a static field

dim red,green,blue

A$="BLACK"
long if edit$(1)<>"RED"
A$    = "RED"
red   = -1
green = 0
blue  = 0
XELSE
A$    = "BLACK"
red   = 0
green = 0
blue  = 0
END IF

edit field -1,A$,,_NOFRAMEDNOCR
setselect 0,_maxInt
edit text ,,,,red,green,blue
edit field -1,,,_STATNOFRAMED
edit field 0
