Help with background kernel options

[Trip2018]

When I try to use this command "set kernel_options player1colors playercolors pfheights background"

and define "pfcolors:" all it does is shoot out this error:

2600 Basic compilation failed!
LINE -->  pfcolors:
--VERBOSE ERROR MESSAGE --
batari Basic v1.01dreveng38 (C)2005-2016
(15): PFcolors kernel option not set

So I tried adding pfcolors to the end and all I get is this:

default.bas

default.bas.bin

You can't use those 5 kernel options all together. See this chart for permissible combinations:

I just checked the list and both the ones i tried are on the list.

You have 5 kernel options set: player1colors, playercolors, pfheights, background, and pfcolors. All 5 of them are legal, but you can't have all of them set at once.

Look at the chart below. When you see the combination you want, left click on the row and the code will appear above the chart. You can then copy the code and paste it into your program.

That's what i did it's on the chart, and in vbb.

Now I see it. It's the 20th row down. I just tried it and I get no errors. Are you using the latest version of batari Basic:

I'm running v1.01dreveng38 so I guess not. I'll test it later this week.
