These are 'unit-gbox-border-color' and 'unit-gbox-fill-color'. They allow you to adjust the border and fill colors of a transport's grouping box (the square around it and its occupants). Currently only the SDL interface honor this (yes, Sdlconq now supports grouping boxes), but I hope to integrate it into the Tcl/Tk interface as well. (At some point, I may also allow for adjusting the border style of the grouping box.) There is a new file, 'colors.txt', in the 'doc' directory. It is taken from the Tk documentation, and describes the colors available in Tk. I added support for this exact same colors database into the SDL interface. This means that if you specify any color named in 'colors.txt' for a GDL global or property, that color will be available in both the Tcl/Tk and SDL interfaces. (Of course, the Curses interface ignores such things; it would be fun to colorize that interface however....) These features are in CVS and will be available in the next file release. Eric
