Chris,

The first color in the $GEMTBL/colors/coltbl.xwp is used as
the background color. You can:

1) change the system wide table mentioned above

2) place a copy of the coltbl.xwp in your
work directory which will be searched befoes looking in
$GEMTBL/colors

3) When using the ntl shared color map, launch "ncolor" and
click on the leftmost color 0 and set the color

4) run "gpcolor" and set color #101 to white with:
colors=101=white
