1) Just in case, make sure you did not set the color "normal text" in the colors dialog to the background color.
2) replace in your script the last ctrl-B char "" with a ctrl-O "". (The current ctrl-B aka $chr(2) will do/undo a bold formatting, but will keep all other formattings - eg colors. A ctrl-O aka $chr(15) on the other hand side will undo *all* text formatting, which in turn ensures $1- is displayed like received)

Or do you want to be able to read all text - regardless if it was colored in your own background color - without stripping all the other colors?
