Is there a way to change the black background color of QP2 to white or a light grey?

Also, I can't tell for sure what the proper procedure is for removing lines I've drawn on a chart using click-drag-release of the mouse. Currently, I switch to another symbol and back. Is there a keyboard command?

Long time lurker here, seeking help.
Thanks for all the help so far.

I would like to generate scan reports similar to what
QP2 gives from its reports section. As I can not find
access to or how to define a NEW and different report, I
have been trying with the scan report. A sample of a
simple result I would like to see is below.

Symb ,Close ,YClose ,Change ,Vol
TELS ,0.375 ,0.469 ,-0.094 ,47100
MFCO ,1.062 ,1.062 ,0.000 ,0
FTEC ,0.812 ,0.750 ,0.062 ,10600
ARMF ,0.812 ,0.812 ,0.000 ,0
ACES ,1.344 ,1.438 ,-0.094 ,23800
ASNT ,2.250 ,2.125 ,0.125 ,6500
ASYS ,1.250 ,1.250 ,0.000 ,16200
SEEQ ,1.438 ,1.344 ,0.094 ,121900
BIPL ,1.250 ,1.250 ,0.000 ,62000
HMGN ,1.188 ,1.250 ,-0.062 ,7200
ALDV ,2.812 ,2.375 ,0.438 ,74400
TVLI ,1.250 ,1.188 ,0.062 ,3800

The code that almost generated this is as follows.

//Simple Day report with Headers
output="headscan.lst";
input="test.lst";
integer header, i;

header:=1; // Header on=1 off=0
i:=1;

for i = 1 to 0 step -1 do

if header = 1 and i=1 then
println "Symb ,Close ,YClose ,Change ,Vol";
header :=0;
else
Println symbol:-8,",", close(0):-8:3,",", close(-1):-8:3,",",
close(0)-close(-1):-8:3,",",vol(0):-10;

endif;
next i;

The above code gives a header line for every security selected.
(I have edited the results to show what I am looking for.)

Question 2:

Sometime ago there was a short discussion about creating your
own index, by placing a list of symbols into the MEMBERS sub-
directory for QP2data. You had to put a "!" in from of the list
name and the combined results were supposed to be shown on a
chart as the SP indexes are. I believe the example was for the
!OEX.lst. I have tried and tried to duplicate this task but
todate have been unsuccessful. Is this a doable thing? I would
love to have a custom index from Quotes Plus 2.

Thanks for any help
