bk_color

Definition: bk_color(integer i)
Description: Set the console window background color to one of the 16 standard colors. Any new characters that you print will have the new background color.
pwa/p2js: Supported, not that I particularly recommend it. Note that as per the comments in text_color() there may be some differences between running pwa/p2js on Windows or Linux.
Comments: The same 16 standard colors as text_color() may be used.

To restore the original background color when your program finishes, you must call e.g. bk_color(BLACK).
Example:
bk_color(BLACK)

For use in a complete application, see demo\color.exw or demo\rosetta\Coloured_text.exw
Implementation: via :%opBkClr / set_console_color() in builtins\VM\pfileioN.e (an autoinclude), or via a <span> in p2js.js
