Hello!  Can someone help me?

I am using QuickBASIC v4.5.  In lower numbered modes, the background and
foreground colors of the screen can be changed with "COLOR a, b".  This
doesn't work for screen mode 12 (or 11).  What I want to do is to print
stuff out with a different background color than the other areas of the
screen have.  To explain what I mean, an example might be inverting the
colors and printing black text on a white background to make that
particular text stand out on a screen that is normally white text on
black background.  How do I do this sort of thing?  (I want to be able to
use other colors, too, rather than always inverting the colors.)  Also,
how do I switch between 8x8 and 8x16 pixels for a character of text?  
Please don't yell "RTFM!" at me, because I *have* tried to figure it out
from the manual.  If at all possible, please e-mail me directly as I
don't normally come into this group.  Thanks!

Andrew
