Text Color Utilities

Author: @chrisparana

These utilities will work with the Apple IIgs or on any Apple II equipped with a VidHD card. Each will set the color of the text, background, and border and then invoke the ProDOS quit handler immediately.

Useful if you'd like to automatically set a theme at boot or select one manually afterwards. Originally created because I wanted my GS to use a different set of colors when booting my ProDOS 8 partition then what I have set as default in the Control Panel.

To have these themes applied at boot, place one of the theme SYSTEM at the end of your load chain.
