actually, I suggest this:

dim oldrec.6
dim newrec.6
call getbackcolor(#@oldrec)
newrec.red% = 65535
newrec.green% = 65535
newrec.blue% = 65535
call rgbbackcolor(#@newrec)
edit field #1,"Test",(10,10)-(100,20),_StatNoFramed
call rgbbackcolor(#@oldrec)

if rgbbackcolor/getbackcolor doesn't work, use rgbforecolor/getforecolor

What you're actually doing is getting the old color, setting the new color,
and then setting it back to the old color. What's nice is that you don't
have to care or keep track of the old color.
