     The getbkcolor function returns the current background color. The
     default background color is 0.
 
     In a color text mode (such as $TEXTC80), getbkcolor returns a color
     index. In a color graphics mode (such as $ERESCOLOR), getbkcolor
     returns a color value (as used in remappalette).

     In most cases, whenever a color argument is INTEGER*4, it refers to
     a color value; and whenever it is INTEGER*2, it refers to an
     attribute or color index. The two exceptions are setbkcolor and
     getbkcolor.
 
     Return Value
 
     The function returns the current background color value.
