Also, what version is yours? Seeing this go back and forth is painful, so googled it.
The creator had this to say for 3.23:
Quote:
1) Open the Editor and typed in some text
2) Clicked the Prefs button in the main session window toolbar, clicked on Styles
3) Click on the General->Text Editor style.
4) Changed the Background Color to Gold
5) Back in the Editor window, the background is now Gold
6) In the Editor window, I did a File/Save As
7) In the Save File dialog box, I select "HTML files" from the "Save as Type" selection. Then entered a filename of "test.htm" and clicked OK.
Opened the test.htm file in Firefox, and the background was Gold, just like it should be.
